“Filthy Followers”

Mark 2: 15: “And it came about that Jesus was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him.” So why is it that then the tax-gathers and sinners followed Jesus (a fact He never apologized for), but now they follow the philosophers, the rappers, and the Kardashians? Probably because when they look at the Church they see nothing they want to follow. Strife, jealousy, anger, dissensions, and drunkenness do not an effective evangelism program make.
