Somehow American Christians (I can’t speak for the rest of the world) believe that if they do everything right at church, there won’t be conflict. I guess this is true, if everyone did everything right.
But, in a fallen world, the reality is the opposite. When a local church really begins to follow Christ, then they can expect conflict. It is certain. In fact, a lack of conflict, may be a warning sign!
Still, when there is conflict some say, “Something is wrong – - we must not be headed in the right direction. . .”

An editor once told me that this article was a little nasty. I guess any time you side with the Grinch (as he properly was at the beginning of the story) you could be accused of being mean. But, this is my thesis and I am sticking to it. The Grinch sold out.
Let me just say it up front. I don’t like how Dr. Seuss ended the thing. As far as I am concerned, the Grinch sold out. He should have kept the presents, stayed in his cave and eaten the Who-pudding, and the rare Who-roast-beast.
