It is my concerted opinion that we have lost sight of some of the more profound aspects of discipleship.  In our effort to mass-produce Christians we have erected structures and developed systems with the best of intentions.  However, we have neglected to follow Christ into the deep shadows of our hearts.  He whom we celebrate with song and attendance has not been made Lord of our hearts, souls, minds, and strength.  This is due in large measure to our own fear and pride.   The cause is inconsequential as the cure is the same: discipleship.
