“Scripture requires that true worship and faithful teaching are to focus on dealing with the sins of the church and believers, instead of the sins of those outside the church, in the world. The sharpest criticisms in Jesus’ teaching are reserved for those who see themselves as devoted worshipers of the Lord.
