King Jr. on the Church

“If today’s church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. Every day I meet young people whose disappointment with the church has turned into outright disgust.” (Martin Luther King Jr.)

I’m reading King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail. I’ve seldom read more convicting words.
