There should be no division in the body, but its parts should care equally for one another. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
This one is a checkup, not a punch line.
The drawing is silly, so we will look. The list is not. Finger in our own eye while we hunt heresy. Works without love. A marker through the hard parts of the Book. A mouth that lives on social media. Prayer knees that don’t bend. A witness with dandruff and a runny nose — Revelation 3:14–15 is Laodicea: rich, lukewarm, hard to look at. Unattractive faith is still a church problem.
We are one body. The sore spots are not “those people.” They are us.
My prayer is that the Church looks inward, considers our part in the body of Christ, and serves God as He has called each of us. Encourage those doing the work. Pray for the ones who struggle. Rejoice and cry together as one.
