When i read

I wonder to myself why those things are there. I think of people going to church specifically for those reasons. Because church was made "attractive" to them by including these things.

I guess it just triggers a domino effect in my mind where i see people that go to church for networking, or for one of these trendy little additions as opposed to learning about God, or hearing his word, or singing songs to the Lord. Its all too often that things like this are the highlight of the church instead of the preaching, teaching, etc.

I guess it just saddens me a bit.

We are so fortunate in our country to be able to pick from a mulitude of churches where God's word is preached. Yet we think we need to entice people with an olympic size water center.

Its amazing how we soil worship services by trying to cater to the ungodly.

I guess i didnt elaborate because i didnt want to derail the thread. Apologies brother
