Injustice.
A heavy layer of dust often covers everything after a tragedy. This is true of fires, floods, war, and every tragedy that affects people. When you meet a person who has survived a personal tragedy - drugs, divorce, prison, etc. - we often fail to see beyond the thick layer of dust. This is one of the greatest injustices in the world. As a church, the greatest gift we could give to the world, would be for us to gain the ability to look past outward appearances, foul language, smoking, and other layers of dust to see the wonderful gift of God that each person represents. How many people have come into our buildings only to be rejected by our churches? I'm increasingly convinced that it is time for our churches to reject our buildings instead.
