- Why does the body of Christ follow rather than lead in social reform—and then dishonestly claim leadership in reforms after the fact?
- I have always wondered why the nature and practice of baptism and the Lord's Supper is left ambiguous in Scripture, yet stubbornly “cacophonous churches” are ever reluctant to practice open fellowship.
- Why do we continue to ignore, make ineffective, and even usurp, the scriptural teaching of the priesthood of all believers—when we know better?
- Why do so many Christ-followers pilgrimage through life without ever considering the veracity of unbelief; never giving it a fair hearing or allowing it to challenge their faith?
- Why does the church speak of absolute values without every pointing to the scriptural examples of situation ethics?
- Why do some faith communities object to wine drinking in moderation when Scripture indicates that wine is a gift from God (Psalm 104:14-15)? For decades the modern church has objected even with the knowledge and example of Jesus turning water into wine? Is this anything more than a holdover from prohibition?

Why is it that I cannot find a church to which I can put a big C on the spelling? One that actually is more like a Church which Jesus intended?
Instead, I find hollow, superficial, structures, filled with empty people as empty as the structure from Monday through Saturday.
My greatest lament is not that I'm a sinner, but rather that I have not been able to find kindred spirits in the community around me. In fact, I find no community under wherever the banner of the church is flown.
