church

why is it that most people think that church is mainly what happens on Sunday morning in a building?

Am I the only one who is frustrated by this entrenched dilemma? I mean how many messages do we need to realize that the identity of the church is (should be) primarily everything else but what occurs during the 'holy' hour.

It would be like: hockey reduced to a jersey fashion show

like baseball reduced to the announcement of the starting line up

like democracy reduced to the second language translation during question period

like cars reduced to the tilt steering, CD player, and interior noise

like a restaurant reduced to the menu

like a cup of coffee reduced to the mug it is held in

like a MAC notebook reduced to running non PC compliant software

I think Paul said something like a resounding gong...
