Okay...so lately I've developed an extremely low tolerance for "church" as some of us know it. This low tolerance has lead me to come to two conclusions:
1) True "church" is way more simple than we make it.
2) Many of the things we do at church have absolutely nothing to do with God.
I have personally made a pledge to keep ministry simple: "Build Faith, Strengthen Families, & Advance God's Kingdom."
Build Faith: Helping people become better believers. This may prove to be hard for "needy" church leaders because it causes people to less dependant on them and more dependant on God...but that's the point, right?
Strengthen Families: Spending more time loving on our families then we do "having church." Healthy homes produce healthy churches.
Advancing God's Kingdom: It's not deep, prophetic, or spooky. God's Kingdom is simply His way of doing things.
By the way, can somebody tell me how many "Annual Days" Jesus had? LOL.

"Okay...so lately I've developed an extremely low tolerance for "church" as some of us know it." - I feel you!
"Many of the things we do at church have absolutely nothing to do with God" - PREACH!!
Ok, my response will be lengthy, so I'm going to not steal my employer's time (as my mom would say) and come back after work.
Stay tuned...
