church.
is it a building? is it just a place to go to weekly? is it only a weekly thing? or is it a wednesday thing as well? do i have to wear nice clothes? smile proudly? appear perfect? make sure i am there every week?
or is it an idea? or is the important stuff going on inside the building on sunday? does what's going on during sunday spill over into monday, and continue until saturday? is sunday the time to recharge and get you ready for another week? is sunday the time in a building where you can meet up with others sharing the same path during the week as you are?
it seems like the church has become its own place and of its own importance, and i am talking about the building not the people. the buildings and clothes and appearance of the church seems to be so much more important now than the idea of the church.
to me it seems the church should helping the needy. the church should be in the parts of the city that are hurting. the church should be spreading a message through action, through love, through being there. and maybe if the church was there, then maybe those people who the church is helping would find their way to the building or maybe they would just spread the message themselves...
