To be honest, I can't really think of a lot of things that really break my heart. Seeing hungry children with swollen bellies in Africa on TV used to break my heart but I guess now, thanks to mass media and such, it seems that I have developed a small "immunity" against these somewhat terrifying images (haven't we all?) Nonetheless, I would still feel discomfort from looking and seeing such pictures (thank God at least I still have those).
Other things that break my heart are pictures of shanty towns. Or war. Or children during war.
But one thing that is really close to home that never fails to cause me a lot of grief is when things that aren't suppose to happen happen in church. Things like anger, unkind words, envy, pride, rudeness. What happened to emulating Christ and being loving people? But at the same time, who am I to judge when I myself am guilty of these very same crimes that I accuse others of? As mom always says, our faith is in God, not in church leaders or the church itself.
Indeed, we are but a church of sinners, saved by God's grace.

Do not believe in everything someone told you, why not find out the truth yourself?
good saying Kathy...... I am speechless and heart breaking looking at many things happening in God's house. Let's face it, it's the truth that church is full of wicked sinners, saved by grace but still have lots of old self.
