All the Lost Souls

How is it that someone who has been in the church for so many years can know so little about what it means to follow God.
Are we willing to let people slip through the cracks and hope that someone else will answer their questions.
Just because they don't ask the right questions or aren't as quick to understand we just roll our eyes and walk away.
I am frustrated with the fact that the simple truths are being lost. That sunday school has become more about having fun then learning about the bible.

I am frustrated by the fact that it is so easy for people to walk away from the church. That there is no one there to stop them or to ask them why or to invite them to church, to walk with them.
We let them walk away because we become so caught up in our worlds, our desires, our drama and our social lives that we don't put any effort into other peoples lives
We let people on the fringe stay on the fringe and we don't bother to look outside our bubbles of friends
We are so busy looking outside the church for all the lost souls that we forget to look within the church for all the wandering people that need our help.
My heartbreaks as I watch my friends walk away and become another statistic
My heartbreaks as I talk to all the people who leave the church because they have been hurt by the church, felt judged, felt ignored. When did church become a place where people could get hurt and abandonded.
Why have we let church become a social ground. We are more concerned with our plans after the service and the people we might see that we forget about the actual reason for going to God's house, to this place of worship
We forget to pay attention to God because we are too busy paying attention to who is sitting next to us.
