“The problem with doing nothing is not knowing when you’re finished.” —Benjamin Franklin (I know that’s not very Calvin and Hobbes at all, but I still love the quote!)
What is incredibly sad to me is the fact that North American society has become so consumeristic that it never even occurs to anyone that there’s something wrong with complaining about a boring sermon. It’s a WORSHIP service. The primary purpose of going to a church service is not to get something out of it, but rather to GIVE something—to God: thanks, praise, glory, worship, attention, adoration. That said, I do appreciate a good sermon that challenges me to put into practice what I believe, and hope that pastors and priests everywhere continually strive to preach each sermon better than the last. The question to ask is NOT whether a worship service was pleasing to me, the participant, but whether it was pleasing to God.
Bahahahahaha!
