Tuesday in Holy Week

What happened? At some point, we started liking big churches with multiple staff and multi-million dollar budgets. Then we called those churches successful and started cloning them. We began looking for accomplished, well-educated, high-powered and attractive people to be our pastors. We started wanting to look good and successful, so we targeted the middle class. But, what about suffering servants? How about the church being a refuge for the poor and the oppressed? What about diversity, art and creativity? And what about humility?
