England's Yorkminster Cathedral was built in the 13th Century and for 700 years it stood tall and true. But some years ago, as people were touring, they noticed cracks in some of the walls in this grand cathedral. A contractor, an architect, and a building inspector were brought in and they traced some of those cracks back to a severe break in the foundation. The mighty Yorkminster Cathedral was closed. It had to be structurally repaired because of those cracks. It looked great on the outside, but inside there was structural damage. The story is a powerful parable that represents the age we live in. Here, and everywhere, there are people who resemble the Yorkminster Cathedral. They look great on the outside, but inside there is structural damage. There are cracks in their hearts, their spirits, their souls. Ask them how they're doing and they say "Fine, thank you." But deep inside there is anxiety ... worry ... restlessness ... fear ... emptiness. Deep inside there is something wrong with the structure of their soul.
