It's supposed to be a time for glorifying God, but we bring all our laziness, selfishness, and hypocrisy with us. For better or worse, it's what we're called to be a part of.<br /> <br /> If you haven't seen it, you might want to check out Mike Russell's post on worship from last week at Eternal Perspectives. It reminds me of what you write about here. Mike looks at Rom. 12:1-2 and says "Worship begins - and ends - with the sacrifice of our lives."

'Church' is often frustrating to me. I've been rethinking the purposes of church over the last while and I like the way you bring it all together here. I really enjoy reading your thoughts. Can't wait to hang out next year!!<br /> Eleo Word. I like this post. ‘Church’ is often frustrating to me.

I have come to learn that people are doing some pretty amazing selfless acts of service that may never or seldom come to the attention of the rest of us. I love people like that though sometimes it does seem frustrating because we don't see it and assume nothing is being done. <br /> Now on the other hand you are right. There is a whole group content "go" to church and to just soak up Sundays blessings and not "be" the church. <br /> We must labour relentlessly both inside and outside the church and never stop encouraging and teaching others about what it means to be Christlike followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and not just "Sunday Christians". <br /> Keep writing my friend and hope to see you soon.
