Yeah, yeah, yeah... come on, Ron: play the game here.
It's a GIVEN that all of us are hopeless without God -- but given that, each of us know our churches have areas that are working, blessing people, changing lives, and areas that are just not being as effective.
We've got 'em, you've got 'em, all God's children got 'em. Fess up and name 'em like a regular guy.
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)
"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

I was not overspiritualizing PG. I just know that what ever our strength is today, it may not be that tomorrow.
All this is in the eye of the beholder.
We used to send a stamped, addressed , card with each new visitor letter that went out. We asked 4 questions and asked the people to rate.
Were you made to feel welcome and comfortable?
What did you like the most ?
What did you like the least?
Would you recommend us to your friends?
We got many of them back. They were a great source of information for us.
Mostly (he says humbly) they enjoyed the preaching most. They were comfortable and welcome. The least varied from age group to age group. All said they would recommend us..........most never did that we are aware of.
So, I submit that the strengths and weaknesses vary from person to person. If you want my opionion about all those issues. it will change from service to service. I evaluate every week, every issue, and work to make it all better. Sometimes I get it right .....sometimes....not.
