Too often the “Church” (all types) today has marketed itself like a business so people think they should be expecting results like any other service provider should deliver. In some cases the new church buildings even resemble fast food restaurants.

The church should be a place we go to give of ourselves in corporate worship to God and to give to each other. It is the giving that produces the spiritual food that we are seeking. Demanding or insisting that we be fed spiritually will result in spiritual starvation. If we walk through the door wondering what we can contribute rather than what we are going to receive, we receive abundantly.

There are congregations that have the right focus. They are attended by imperfect people who make mistakes but want to give of themselves to God and the others there.

It has been said that if we find a perfect church we should stay away, because we will most certainly ruin it if we attend.
