The other day (9/15/09) I wrote a piece about the the nature of organizations - they tend to look after themselves and not worry about the interests of those they are supposed to serve. While this is all too true, it's important to note that there are lots of good people who day in and day out truly try do a great job for their students, patients, customers, etc. In my experience, many of these workers are Christians who are living out Christ's admonition that we are to be "salt and light" to the world. Matt. 5:13-16. I sometimes imagine what life would be like if all of a sudden, all His followers were taken out of the world - it's not a pretty picture. So good job Church! Thanks for being salt and light to a world in desperate need of both.
