As for judging whether the universal church is a mess, I go to Rev 2 and 3.
However one may interpret those portions. I.e., that Sardis is dead Protestantism, and so forth, I've come to see that portion as the Lord counseling
us of the conditions that hinder all Christians from experiencing Him, but also showing us, with Smyrna and Philadelphia, what He approved.

This goes along with the other posts here by Ohio, JJ, Igzy et. al.
Someone recently said something like, "So do you think God didn't know what He was getting into (literally) when He brought humans into His grand purpose? Is any human too much for Him? Of course not! Therefore
He will get His glorious bride!"
This is why the whole universe will be absolutely awestruck when everyone sees how He has built His church. This, to me, is an example of the "Irresistible Force meets the immovable object." God planned to do this "impossible" thing through us, with all our issues and a free will to boot. To God be the glory!!!
