Take a new view....

hmmm....

When we lament in our soul and spirit it is so difficult to express it in ways that adequately do it justice. Please, readers of the thread see the OP in the light of that and grant him grace. He is attempting to express his desire to see Christ’s Church edified. He draws on his experience and speaks from a point where he stands now. We can accept that can’t we? We can take his lament and use it to offer him consolation can’t we?

What are the original foundations you wish to see more clearly? How can you work within the will of God to see them more clearly?

Your thinking very broadly when you mention revamping the entire western civilization's church. I'd pray for God's help with your ambition, as it's impossible to do without him.

Also, I've been too some church's that were worse then other's and some that were better then other's, not all church's are in need of revamping.
