Amen.
As a Christian, I used to have a knee-jerk reaction to statements such as yours, but as I've grown older and observed more, I'm horrified by what I see in the "mega-churches" that are springing up everywhere.
I agree with your belief that God wants a a close and personal relationship with us and wants us to share him with one another, not just congregate on Sunday, listen to one person tell us what (he thinks) we should do, throw money in the plate and go about our lives until next Sunday.
In these type of settings,one becomes an armchair Christian,never really getting to know the guy next to you and only superficially. The early Church sought after one another's needs and all parts of the body were crucial to its survival. We need to come out from the way we do church or even think about church. I used to think that because I wasn't in church on Sundays ,I was missing out on something,but now God is unveiling to me what Church really is. What about those who can't make it to a service or who really aren't accepted. Are they not as important to the body. We need to become the Church{Called out ones} and start to move in our gifting of reaching out to others and not become caught up in Christianity { spectator-ship} and participate with Christ on a daily basis.Who needs a ministry when one actually becomes the ministry and every day life becomes more meaningful to be that servant instead of trying to train or take the necessary steps to qualify {Serving Man's agenda} instead of God's.
