Agree that we could use the Lord's Supper as a much more meaningful part of worship. I've seen too many times when it is indeed a ritual, almost like repeating a prayer over and over again, with no heart. Sure I hope each and everyone takes it on themselves to understand what they are doing, but for visitors and the uninitiated the Lord's Supper should unite us, provoke our hearts, and be uplifting all at the same time. More than anything though Love, genuine Love, for each other should be paramount. Love overcomes all.

Not just comfortable, safe. No toes are stepped on, no wallets are closed because of offense, and no sins are spoken against. The perfect combination required by today's church for a "good" sermon.

There are so many other areas that need to be taught, but doing so might break the Eleventh Commandment of "Thou shalt be nice and never offend." One of the greatest sins being practiced in the church today is cowardice. It's rampant among the eldership and preachers, and I don't see it getting any better any time soon.
