Last Sunday night I stayed home from church.
In a very nice gesture, I was given the night off by my minister since it was Father's Day.
But it got me thinking about church and the way it was described by a church forefather in the "Being the Church" subject I'm doing at college.
It was noted that the church is to nourish Christians like a mother does a child.
The only trouble is... It's wrong.
A child is totally dependent on the parent for food. We should never be absolutely dependent on a church service for our spiritual food.
This is a dangerous place to be and a sign of immaturity (thus the child analogy).
The church should be a place to serve and be encouraged not be spoon fed your sole spiritual meal for the week.
