I've gone through this, but only at the start of services. I love to hear how the LORD has transformed someone, but once in a while I would like someone from a well adjusted background, who was raised in the church, to stand up and witness. We have a big outreach to the "projects-high rise slums" and some of the stories are unbelievable.

Sure, there's a place for witnessing. But the heart of the service is the sermon. And so many churches have lost that, or at least shunted it off to the side.
