Is aspiring to the honors of men include things like:

Making sure everyone stands when you walk in?
Being sure no one stands before you do?
Being convinced that you are living scripture?

-50 for Nelson. I won't leave because the church asks too much. I'll leave because it isn't true, doesn't tell the truth, promotes other-ing, and doesn't deliver on its promises.

If it was what it claimed, I'd happily do what it asks.

The problem with that challenge is that when I actually focus on Christ, when I ignore the philosophies of men and focus on what Jesus would do and has taught us by his example and life then it actually leads me away from the institutional church.

Agreed. This is lame and extremely self-contradictory

Is the "world" anything that doesn't fit in with their old white dude conservative worldview?
