Why I Don't Go to Church Anymore
I'm making a change in my life. I'm not going to church anymore. Or at least I'm not going to say I'm going to church anymore. I don't very often, but sometimes I say "I'm going to church." In the week I usually say I'm going to work. But when talking about our services I often find myself saying that I'm going to church. Often I do just because I feel like I would have to explain myself to people and I don't want to take that time.But I'm really going to try to take that phrase out of my vocabulary. Pastor Jim's series on the church has me thinking more about it. We have talked a lot about the church being the people, but we do small things that imply otherwise. I know it doesn't really change a lot, but maybe a lot of small things will make a difference. The beginning of changing the way we act is just changing how we think.
B-nut has a few words on the subject. Maybe he'll post a link to a few of his posts.

I try to be accurate with my language by refering to the church as the church building, church services, as "service", and work...as work. It is a subtle switch but I think words are important and they should reflect what we truly believe.
I am proud of you, Tim. I would reply more and link those posts you referred to, but I am too busy changing diapers at the moment....
It seems that you blog more than I do these days. I like it.
