Knowing the Problems and the Solutions

I awoke early this morning and as I was meditating the thought came to me that it is one thing to know that there is a problem but it is another to know the solution. It is also possible to focus on symptoms and miss the root cause.

I have been seeing and/or hearing some people identify problems with the modern church without giving solutions. I have been seeing and/or hearing people identify problems with our nation but not connecting them with the condition of the church within our nation.

Many Christians are dissatisfied with the state of things in America but seem to be quiet content with things within modern Christianity or at the least with their particular group or church. Could it be that the state of things in America are really a reflection of the overall condition of the church in America? Should we focus more within and less without? Could it be that there will continue to be major problems without until we identify and deal with the problems within? Could it be that Jerusalem did not have to experience what took place in 70 AD?
