Traditions are hard to break because we have so many sacred cows; and I just don't get the competitive part. There's enough work out there for everyone. Luke 10:2 tells us that the "harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few." Kathy, I think a lot of people struggle with the way we do church.

"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!" I fear that the infighting that goes in both within the church and between churches is the result of being "lukewarm" in faith. I find the more "on fire" I become for Christ, the less tolerant I am of the tradition - the drama and the competition. I applaud your stance on your soapbox my dear!!! PREACH ON!!!
