Things I've heard

Here are some things I've heard. If you've been around "church" long enough or if you're in a church leadership position you know where I'm coming from...
(This is just a small sample)

• The music is too loud.
• We love the band.
• Guitar solos are fleshly.

• The music is too slow. (traditional service only)
• We stand too long.
• We should use our Bibles more & Powerpoint less.

• We should put out offereing boxes and stop passing the plates (or bags).
• Offering is an "act of worship" & should be a part of the service.

Meanwhile back in the world people are headed toward eternal destruction.
