I'm also confused, Joe. What is your purpose for writing this article? I'm really not sure. Where are you preaching the Word, Joe? Who are you discipling? Unless you're read by policy makers, whoever those people are, really what are you accomplishing by complaining? And really, have you offered any alternatives here? I usually love your stuff, and maybe it's just my perspective right now. But I need to hear more than frustrated rantings about things and constructs dying. What's living? What makes you alive? I'm much more interested in that. As I was reading this I wondered if all the prophetic/negative talk is helping the Church. I’m also confused, Joe. What is your purpose for writing this article?
