Justin feels that the current state of our church as a whole is interesting. He believes wholeheartedly that it's a temple that needs to be rebuilt and currently is in a state of ruins (Isa. 61). It's on us to ignore culture, both American and Malayalee, and stop wasting time on this cultural gap debate. He feels that ”biblicalness” must go forward and we need to start listening and adhering to what God wants for the church, not what we as a people think is best anymore.
