Do you think Two Church services a month is enough?

I haven't voted, and don't plan to. The only thing I want to say is that there seems to be a growing number of people that have realized that there has to be more to "being in church" than being in church. What profit is there to God if all His church produces are people that are faithful to a set of four walls? It seems that the focus in many churches is one of being faithful to the church, rather than teaching people how to go out and win the world around them. It seems to me that if more churches taught people how to go out and do what it is they were saved to do, rather than just how to be faithful to church services, then there would be no need to teach people how to be faithful to church services. It, faithfulness to church services, would be a natural by-product of winnning the lost. Just my two cents. Carry on.

You mean like actually BEING the Church instead of just going to church? Now there's a novel concept. Ah, but we can't have that because then saints in the pews wouldn't get to sit on their blessed assurance and just be fed and ministered to and entertained while they criticize the leadership for trying to get them to get off their blessed assurance. We wouldn't be able to have all these little church fiefdoms that get passed on from father to son down through the generations.
