True,and good at tithes and offerings too.
But listen.God in his heart says 'Bring no more vain offerings,to what purpose is the multitude of your offerings to me? When you come to appear before me who has required this at your hands?
We are more concerned with 'donating to God and 'pleasing him with our acts' which are but filthy rags and missing it all.
And I am very guilty of this as well
That is why I said we are in a furnace being perfected day after day.

But let me add this
We are human and we must be balanced.
There is danger of becoming too spiritual for any earthly use.I know people who demonise everything that sometimes I feel like catapulting them straight to heaven cz they have no use here.
One needs to be spiritually natural and naturally spiritual.

When I think critically about what Christ wanted for the church (service & devotion) and what he hated most (commercialization & lukewarm behavior) I really wonder if where we are is what he intended?!?

If anyone looks at the 2013 Church it is riddled with billionaire pastors, popes on golden thrones, Santa Claus, & the Easter bunny....

How many Christians regularly watch porn, get drunk, fornicate, bribe, etc etc and still claim to go to church on Sunday and pray in the morning and evening??

The bible and the Koran are very clear on who will come to cause THE MAJORITY to fail in their path to heaven!

As Christians we seem to be most exposed to evil behavior & yet we also enjoy it most... aren't most Muslims who find it harder to tend to evil also human beings??

I find Christians are more liberal where the Muslim community is tightly knit.It is both a culture and religion while to Christians there is a separation and this I believe is where the sin you speak of(which I agree with your point) thrives in.Individuals when outside the Muslim community,I've seen very different reality.Please,no one take this as an attack just my personal observation.

Everyone is born into a religious environment, which is not his/her own choice.
So from the start, they are assigned the religion of their family.
By the a person reaches their teens they usually accept the beliefs of their parents or that of their particular society.

However, when some people mature and are exposed to other beliefs and ideologies, they begin to question the validity of their own beliefs.
Seekers of truth often reach a point of confusion upon realizing that believers of every religion, sect or ideology all claim to have the one and only correct religion or ideology.
There are only three possibilities.
- They are either all correct;
- all wrong or
- only one is correct and the rest are wrong.

BUT: they cannot all be right since all religions are different from each other in their fundamentals.

BUT: all claim that they alone are correct and the rest are wrong.

HOWEVER, to claim that they are all wrong is to deny that God revealed His will to humankind.

So, which "way" is the right one and how can the seeker of truth know it?
