Cscox 789. You may have grown up in a Christian home but you have missed the point. In fact the last time you heard a Bible story it was probably illustrated with a flanel graph. To tell people the message about God we need to use what gets the message out most effectively! If only all the Christian videos on YouTube where this high quality then we wouldn't be such a laughing stock. This vid is ace!!
From what I've seen, people who grow up in good homes are at a disadvantage.
Many clean-cut, middle class, well-mannered kids base their Spirituality on their upbringing more than a desperate need for God, and a real relationship with Him.
Their clothes, their jobs, their house, their friends, their Church attendance is often something they do because they've always done it and can't think of any other way.
But to me, they are like the Pharisees, who look good in Church, but bad outside it.
That may describe many, but be careful not to "lump" together every affluent Christian. By doing that you are essentially condemning them to that fate.
"MANY clean-cut, middle class, well-mannered kids base their Spirituality on their upbringing more than a desperate need for God, and a real relationship with Him."
I'm not condemning anyone. Merely pointing out that I've seen many people who look good on the outside, who are respected member of the Church, but they don't show the love that Christ commands of us; to love God, to love our neighbor, and to love our enemies.
As for helping, I usually help outside the Church. I tried to enter three different Ministries, and every time, my Church told me that they don't need me. They don't need anything from me but my money.

Instead of pointing a finger, lets lend a hand.
Notice I used the word "many".

I struggle with this myself.
So do most of us.
