more where that came from

Today is a bad day for the church (note the little "c") in my blog posts. What can I say, I'm just reading a lot of stuff that brings to mind how the church is failing in its role as cornerstone of society. And here's more, taken from this excellent post by a blogger who's about to get added to the blogroll.

Unfortunately, in the West today, we are harvesting the rotten fruit of this grave misinterpretation of Scripture. Dads weep bitterly at the loss of their children before dying at a premature age. Moms groan under the burden of both providing and keeping the home. Children wonder why everyone is so unhappy and reject both marriage and the Church. And those concerned about liberty grow increasingly alarmed at the scope and size of the government Hydra that grows more and more heads when the atomistic family disintegrates.

Tell me that's not a dead-on description of what we see in the West today. And the culprit may just be the church itself, in ways you might not suspect.
