Things today are much like they were in Micah's time. The rich get richer while the poor get poorer. Corporations are more concerned with the bottom line, and how many profits will be realized in a year than they are with the general welfare of their workers. Mainstream churches spend their time raising money for building funds, or paying an increasingly large staff to market the church to the increasingly nonplused population. Many churches bleed the spirituality out of religion in the name of public piety.
Church becomes a place to see and be seen.
In my hometown, a small community north of Atlanta, church is a place to do business. Everyone in town will do business with you if you're seen in church. The depth or integrity of one's walk of faith is not as important as being seen as being religious. The rightness of doctrines, of following church law or church precepts, often takes precedence over real spiritual growth. Say one wrong thing about a doctrine and many denominations will kick you out.
