Offense is where the distinction is being seen today. Many are getting offended at what they once believed and seeminhgly participated in. The simple reason is that many hung around the things of God but were never really rooted in their understanding of the faith they proclaimed.
The most important activity a christian can participate in is not external service in a church that makes you visible but it is in private meditation on the word of God. The reading and meditation on the scripture after a time of prayer is the most useful activity that roots you in God.
Failure to do this will put you in a place where things will happen on
the outside that will make you criticize and get offended.
There is truly a wind blowing and it is showing us something, the difference between those who sat at the feet of Jesus, learnt and meditated privately on the things they were taught and those who did little of that but became very visible through much activity in church only to find that their activity did not stop their Lazarus from falling ill.
They question the faith today because they don't understand why someone who poured expensive oil on Jesus's head can still have what they love so much go so wrong ( Lazarus is sick i prayed to Jesus to come heal him and he didn't show up).
Only one thing is needful Jesus said, "your sister has chosen the good part that can never be taken from her".
Stay on the word, feed on the word that's what we are called to do. If you do this, even though your Lazarus "died" because "Jesus didn't show up on time" you will have him raised back to life through your own faith.
