It saddens me to see people become discouraged by the church because some people are merely religious and not Christ-followers.  When did we ever get the idea that the church exists for us?  We, the church, exist for those in the world, and if we act no different or worse than they do, why would they want to change?  And pastors leaving the ministry or not even going into it because of the lack of respect and dignity given them or the discouragement of seeing how the "religious" can ruin a church just saddens me.
