In part 1 of this post, I gave an introduction, exposing the fact that gimmicks are used in the church. For those whom are offended, continue to read. I make no apologies because this is my experience and it happens is churches everywhere. There are so many rituals in the average church worship service, things like: stand up, read this, sit down, stand again, go to three people and say this.
Programs are sponsored by churches to get people in the door, increase the Sunday School attendance and raise money for the new flat screens in the over flow room. There are a host of methods used to get people in the door and weather you like reading about it or not, when you appeal to what attracts people, your no doubt marketing and there is a gimmick to most if not all marketing strategies.

The word love is used so much in our society that I often wonders if people really understand the word or the actions that should follow the meaning; not that I am an expert or an authority on the subject.
Our modern dictionaries define love as:
1. A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.
3. Sexual passion or desire.
4. Affectionate concern for the well-being of others: the love of one’s neighbor. Read more on Love is what it does….

While growing up in the City of Philadelphia, enjoying the morning church service was something to really think about for days to come. The move of the spirit, people being saved, healed, encouraged and set free. No matter how bad your week was, fellowship with Gods people was a real encouragement and your spirit was lifted by the time worship was over. There was such a spirit of reverence and respect for the place in which the saints gathered together for worship.
More than 30 years ago, we didn’t have the ability to stream video from cell phones (we had pay phones) we could not text, tweet or communicate instantly during the service, but we could pass notes and whisper or ask the usher to pass the note or meet in the back of the church to pass on a message quietly.
