Under the leadership of religious professionals, modern worship has become passive–listening to a message and singing some songs. Seldom is there a call to service or an invitation to trust Christ. Baptisms take place inside the church where it is safe and comfortable rather than in public where there is opportunity to give witness to the saving grace of Christ. The great needs of society are left to para-church groups, government agencies, and other social service organizations. All the while the church is losing its muscle tone, its biceps are becoming loose and flabby and its belly is becoming round and soft. Not a pretty picture for one who once was toned and buff–a lean, mean fighting machine. Craig Olson
About This Quote

The church is not a place that should be used for worship. It is a place where people come together to worship the Lord. We all know that church is not just about singing hymns and having an awesome Sunday service. There are many places that you can go to do that, but church is also about sharing God’s word and serving people. People do not want to go to church for worship, they want to go because they feel like they can learn more about God there.
