EDITORIAL

When the late-night revelers walk into bars, often without a dime in their pockets, they are still assured of leaving drunk. Someone, somewhere, will share a drink or lend a helping hand. It’s an unspoken code of camaraderie—a peculiar kind of generosity and community that thrives even in the dimmest corners of society. But step into many churches today with a similar sense of need, and you may walk out with nothing but frustration.

People go to bars without money and return home drunk. But, when you go to church hungry, you will come back home frustrated and nobody will be bothered to find out if you have eaten something or you’re starving.

The irony is glaring. The church, which should epitomize love and care, seems to have lost touch with its core mandate: serving people and reflecting God’s unconditional love. Instead, competition, pretentiousness, envy, and outright hatred now overshadow the golden commandment to “love one another as I have loved you.” For many congregants, church is no longer a sanctuary; it has become a battleground for status, influence, and self-righteousness.

On the other hand, the revelers—the so-called “sinners”—live by a different creed. In their gatherings, there is less judgment and more acceptance. Whether someone is celebrating or grieving, they will often find a sympathetic ear and a supportive hand in these spaces. The irony isn’t lost: the bars, where morality is often questioned, may exhibit more authentic love and care than the pews of today’s churches.

Cars leave bars excessively loaded with revelers going to different places and the driver makes sure each one is dropped to their doorsteps for safety reasons but, in church, everyone leaves in their luxurious cars with empty seats and cannot lift christians going to same directions.

If love is the measure of eternity, as preached in countless sermons, then perhaps the revelers have an edge. The Bible’s golden rule doesn’t come with exceptions. It doesn’t favor the churchgoer over the reveler or the preacher over the layperson. It calls on all to love genuinely, without envy, without judgment.

This isn’t to glorify drunkenness or dismiss the value of faith communities. Rather, it’s a call for introspection. Churches must rediscover their mission of fostering genuine love and compassion. They need to look beyond offerings, appearances, and titles to prioritize the needs of the hungry, the broken, and the lost.

In the end, heaven might not be about how many verses you memorized or how many Sundays you showed up. It might just be about how well you loved, how deeply you cared, and how willing you were to meet people at their point of need—whether in a pew or a pub.

It is right to conclude that, we are living in a world where the good people are in Bars while the bad people stay in churches. The revelers might be onto something. Perhaps it’s time the church took notes.
