"Religion" sucks...

Ok. Before you get the pitchforks and the torches, stay with me. Lately I have had such a negative regard towards church - its lost its purpose and real meaning- especially in these last days. I don't understand certain people. I don't understand pastors and what they say sometimes. It grates me and drives me nuts. I haven't lost my faith in Christ but my faith in the church, that is of a wholly different matter. I think it stems from a lack of organization to allow ministries that are effective to breath and the ones that aren't to choke off and die. Pruning the vines. Tradition. We tend to think that if we do some sort of outreach every year-not change one jot or tittle, as long as the place is jammed on that certain event, we made an accomplishment. Where are those masses the rest of the 364? Can't we break out of the nutshell and try something different? God Forbid! We gotta have a ministry for every social discrepancy instead of teaching and preaching victory in the believers lives in the meantime until the rapture. My belief is this, if you can teach and build up your congregation to live out Christ's life in their personal life outside the front doors of our church, why then would we need ministries? We are the body of Christ-we could get the job done without an organization to hide behind. Organized chaos called 'worship' will never lead the people to the inner sanctuary. Leadership and the congregation have lost the concept of the powerful presence of God. We've been acting like a bunch of wannabes-we wannabe a church when we need to be the Church-period.
