Questions in need of an answer

This will be short and to the point…at least for now:

Why do you attend worship with the Body of Christ (that is if you are one who does attend worship)?

Is there anything that would keep you from worshiping with the Body of Christ?

I am curious.  Please leave a comment here.  I will not judge you.

More to come about this later…

Church success

The following is a “tweet” on my Twitter account that I received yesterday (Tuesday).  It’s by John Piper and goes as follows:  “The success of a church should not be judged by its seating capacity but by it sending capacity.

BRILLIANT!

Church membership doesn’t really say much about a congregation except how many people call that congregation their church home.  Worship attendance starts to get at the core issue but doesn’t tell the whole story.  Sending capacity (however one can measure that) tells us that people are being fed and sent to advance the mission of Christ to the glory of God.

A church that measures its success by seating capacity is inward focused.   A church that measures its success by its sending capacity is Christ (outward) focused.
