"Il est facile de devenir désillusionné par l'église et la religion. Les gens sont blessés et déçus, les prédicateurs pèchent et négligent les personnes souffrantes, et la théologie solide cède parfois à la peur et à l'ambition égoïste. Mais au fond, si vou"
— Francis Chan
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people feel let down by religious institutions because they see leaders making mistakes, hurting others, or being more interested in their own gains rather than helping people. It's common to witness preachers doing wrong things or failing to support those who are struggling. These experiences can make people frustrated or lose faith. However, the true essence of faith in Jesus is about caring for others. If your focus is on loving Jesus, this love will naturally extend to loving and helping people around you. For example, even if a person is disappointed by church scandals, they can still volunteer at a local shelter or support a friend in need, showing compassion and kindness. This way, they live out their faith through their actions, regardless of any negative experiences with religious institutions.
