re: #185 William Lewis

Here’s the thing I keep coming back to: Fundamentalist churches repeat the mantra, “Jesus is coming soon.” Well, if that’s true, shouldn’t they be going balls to the wall to reach as many unchurched people as possible, instead of squandering their wealth and waning influence? The collective Church is reminding me of the servant in the parable of the talents who went and buried his talent in a field and hid it. They are refusing to take the risk and put their precious comfort on the line, despite knowing (or claiming to know) that the Master is coming back soon to call them to account.
