I think, to a large degree, the church today wants to be heard in society without earning the right. We think just because "we’re the church" we have the right--not so. Jesus had to earn the right in the eyes of men before they listened. He was already who He was--with or without humanities' acknowledgment. BUT, people listened to Him and followed Him because of the life He lived and the way He served others. It took the service of the cross for Him to speak beyond the time He walked physically on the earth. The same will be true of us. If we truly loved people and were going to serve them and wanted to see the press get off the back of the church--it wouldn’t be that hard. Aggressively serve the poorest of the poor, the least of the least, the farthest, and then speak in love from service in the arena wherein you want a voice--without judgment.
