Davy Jone's Locker

 What has...

No backbone so that it can fit into just about any space.

When threatened, it changes color in order to blend with surroundings.

Uses a smoke screen to escape from any who would confront it.

Has many arms and if one gets removed,it just grows back.

Loves to squeeze the enemy and paralyze them before ending their life.

Has been know to turn on it's own kind.

Is poisonous in all of it's different species.

Has been known to build walls around it to hide it's true intentions. 

Though these are some traits of the octopus, I truly wish that was what I was describing here. To my dismay, I am describing something much more hideous, more treacherous, more cunning, more poisonous than any sea creature from down below. What is it I am describing, you ask...

Disillusioned

So you're disillusioned with the church, who isn't? You feel like you're not getting fed or like people are not recognizing you for all of your wonderful efforts. Maybe you believe the pastor's theology is so off base, they're too legalistic, or they're too free.

Has your disillusionment caused you to leave the church all together, church hop, or do you sit in your seat every Sunday stewing in your own "pew"? How long will you be able to contain your discontentment before it turns to outright bitterness and hatred?

If you are tired of the growing disdain in your heart for church, if you are ready to cure the poison of bitterness and resentment that is eating you from the inside out, then give this article the chance to be used of God to speak to right where it hurts. You may not like what I have to say, you may disagree, or it may just change your heart.
