Sometimes you wonder why you even bother going to church. I went this Sunday, and yet again, nobody so much as looked in my direction. It’s happened countless times before, in different churches, and it’s always the same story. Modern churches in England seem so cliquey—taken over by people who only care about social status rather than genuine faith. It’s sad and kind of pathetic seeing these middle-class snoots form little circles, deciding who’s in or out based on careers or perceived social status rather than kindness or love. Most folks there don’t seem loving or caring at all. They’re too busy trying to climb the social ladder and have no time for anyone who doesn’t fit their mold .
The problem is that people, even in church, can be incredibly selfish and cold, forgetting the true purpose of gathering as the body of Christ. The solution lies in remembering what Jesus taught us. In John 13:34 (NIV), it says, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” Jesus wants us to be more than a social club. We should reach out, welcome others, and care like the good shepherd who looks after every single sheep.
I keep going because church is about God, not the flawed people who sometimes miss the point. Lord, please help me and others be the change we want to see. Strengthen our hearts to love genuinely, treat others how we’d want to be treated, and overcome any divisions we encounter .
