Sounds like Pentecost....
Prax,
The exposure of political corruption is evident to more people than ever before. Yes the political arena today is sickening.
However, when you speak of the church I don't think you're referring to "THE" Church. God's church is just fine. We have some local assemblies that have big problems, have some that are where they need to be. I see your point, but the Pentecostal movement has it's good and it's bad.
Find the good stick with it & influence as many as you can.

Im referring to Churchdom in general.
I never spoke in sweeping generalizations. In other words I did not say it was ALL of pentecost, but sadly when people see it happening one place or experience first hand they can be turned off of the whole.
It's not just Pentecost either though. It's all of Churchdom from the ministry down to the "laity"...and I think forums like this and all the bickering and disunity are just a microcosm of a larger problem. But shouldn't the church be different than what is happening in the world?
