Dear Church…

Dear Church,

I haven’t written about you for some time. It wasn’t because I realized I was stuck in some sort of a phase. It wasn’t because I’ve changed my mind and look back at my foolishness thinking…wow, how crazy I was. It’s because I’ve been busy…living life.

I still think we need to fix some things…check that, a lot of things.

I still think that most of us are more concerned with the weekend service than with the services we provide to the community throughout the week.

I still think that we are missing the mark (hey, that’s the definition of sin…go figure).

I still think that many of our “church” organizations are concerned more with themselves than with their community.

I still believe you were created for much more than this.

I still think that we have become dangerously close to being desperately far from God’s purpose.

I still think we can improve…not our preaching style, multimedia implementation and music quality, but rather our focus on the journey for truth.

I still think one sided conversations from the stage, secluded green rooms, elaborate worship productions, giving a tenth, and the eucharist without the feast is missing something.

I still love you.

I still have a hope that we will find our way.

Anyways, just thought I’d share. Just in case you missed me.
