Amen!
In a college town, like Tallahassee, there are a lot of "upstart" churches that seek out college students. I have had the opportunity to attend one of the more popular ones and I can say that there was a lot of hooping, hollering, shouting, and singing, but not much else. All icing and no cake. I have always attended churches led by seminary-trained pastors. And, I am used to being "fed" by the word. This experience was a total shock for me. We spent three hours in this church and I didn't walk away with anything. I like to leave church feeling like I am a better person than when I walked in. I like to learn more about the Lord and feel that I am closer to him.
