“It’s easy to become disillusioned with church and religion. People get hurt and disappointed preachers sin and overlook hurting people and sound theology sometimes cowers to fears and selfish ambition. But at the core if you love Jesus you will love people.”
— Francis Chan

Simplified Meaning:
Religious institutions and leaders aren't perfect, and sometimes they make mistakes or fail to help those in need. This can make people feel disappointed or lose faith in the church. Despite these flaws, the central message of Christianity is about loving others, just as Jesus taught. Loving Jesus means caring for and helping people regardless of the church's imperfections. Just like how a good teacher might occasionally make mistakes but still genuinely cares for their students, true faith focuses on kindness and compassion. To apply this in your life, focus on showing love and support to others, even if you see flaws in the structures or people around you.
