I love it! You're absolutely correct. I've been in many leadership meetings and classes that ask the questions, who is the church service for? what kind of services should we have? etc. I have often thought the same thing - "Wrong question". It's becoming clearer everyday that christianity in America has sadly been reduced to a church service. Although I'm not anti-church service per se, I do believe it's becoming more and more a waste of time and energy. The amount of effort put in is grossly disproportionate to the fruit coming out.

I too think better when I write, but I then have to be careful that I don't let my mind run away with my words and to keep my focus on the LORD, and let Him do the work through me. Otherwise I'm prone to let my emotions control my words, instead of Him. He gave me my emotions, and I don't try to deny them or push them away, but I know that they should never control me. That's one thing He's been teaching me a lot lately. :) Thank you for the encouragement, and for the fellowship. ~Amanda Thank you Jeremy, I just hope that whatever I say and whatever I write brings glory to God and encourages others.

Ha ha. I think best when I write, and sometimes, I don't know where I'll end up as I'm thinking/writing my way through something. I have read some of your comments on other blogs, and read your own blog. You've had quite the church experience, and I appreciate what you are saying. Keep the faith! Jeremy Amanda,

The question of "What the church is?" is something that I've actually be studying a lot myself during the last year, and I'm looking forward to reading some of your thoughts on the issue. Many blessings ~Amanda I like where you’re going with this, and I agree that “Who is the church service for?” is the wrong question.
