I am working on a book that will encompass many things that have to do with Christian politics and culture. In mainstream Christendom there is an apparent hatred of self improvement and personal responsibility. Many "reborn" Christians, I think, have turned to the churches to shed themselves of the idea of this responsibility. Therefore they confess Christ and fall into complacency as a cope against what they understand is the incorrect way.

My basis currently lies on what is frankly an inaccurate, however not dishonest interpretation of "the body is God's temple." In essence, we should not allow our bodies to fall into dilapidation and instead seek after an outward beauty, in metaphor to the way that we maintain our churches and shrines. Furthermore, the heart of our fleshly Church should speak goodness and without blasphemy, in the same way that we should expect our good priests to conduct themselves.

The heart of our fleshly Church is the priest therein and though the exterior may be beautiful, if the preacher is wicked then the entire establishment is the same. And if the preacher is righteous then he should not allow the church to fall into ruins.

What can I add to this?

God wants us to be the best physical and mental versions of ourselves so that we can work hard and carry out his will and glorify him to the best of our ability. Simple as.
