I am wondering if I am not throwing the baby out with the bathwater. If i allow myself to be ministered to in church and listen to the sermons with the intention of hearing God speak, and have my own private worship life as well, then there is a place for me to see whether the Lord will offer me the chance of being part of a renewal from within?

Hey Dunx
I think you may have hit the nail on the head here. Another thing to take into account is that the worship service is just that, a service for worship, so the focus is on God and not on us. As a result of the passionate interaction between the lover and the beloved, we are ministered too. And we are given opportunities to interact with other believers – all of whom are at different levels of intimacy with ourselves. There’s a lot to learn, and gain, at a service. But more importantly, there’s a lot to give. It’s difficult when you walk through the valley of the shadow, but keep looking up, and out.
