The Winnie the Pooh Church

By LeRoy H. Carter Jr

Historically, the church has often been called to stand against injustice, to be a voice for righteousness in turbulent times. However, in an era where unpopular and un-Christian measures are increasingly normalized-such as policies eroding moral standards or marginalizing biblical values-the church can become hesitant or silent. This silence is rooted in fear of offending or losing influence, yet it only deepens the trap. An analogy can be drawn to Pooh's cave after his honey feast; the church, instead of confronting societal gluttony, greed, and spiritual complacency, is stuck within its own comfort zone. This reluctance weakens its witness and diminishes its power to effect change, much like Pooh's physical limitations prevent him from helping others or embarking on new adventures.

There is an urgent need for the church to recognize its own spiritual gluttony and greed-the desire for comfort, wealth, and influence at the expense of truth and righteousness. Repentance involves turning away from these destructive behaviors and embracing a posture of humility, justice, and mercy. It requires standing firm on biblical principles, even when facing social opposition or unpopularity. The church must awaken from this spiritual slumber and remember its core calling: to be a voice for Jesus Christ, promoting justice, mercy, and truth. Just as Pooh's overly full belly left him immobile, so too can the church become incapacitated if it refuses to confront complacency and self-indulgence.
