When people complain that today’s church services aren’t as good as they should be, that our worship is often more about entertainment than participation, that the preaching is often shallow, that discipleship is sometimes non-existent… I have to reluctantly agree.

When they long for the days when we did church better than we do it today… I wholeheartedly disagree.

We’ve never done church better than this.

Sure there have been pockets of greatness. There still are today.

And there are always good, healthy churches to be found of all shapes and sizes. I’ve been in a lot of them and I pastor one.

But the less-than-ideal church service is nothing new.
