Questions

Why do we do church the way that we do? What is the purpose of church? The early church met to encourage one another in the faith, at least that was one aspect of it I think. Is that why we have care groups? What about Sunday services? We should proclaim God's Word of course, but what about songs? Do we always need to sing songs in worship? Do the songs need to be practiced or do we just need someone to be able to play them or sing them? If worship is a lifestyle, why do we need to designate a "worship" part of the service? Why DO we include music in our services? I like music, and I find it turns my thoughts towards God as I sing "worship" songs, but I don't know I'd say that songs are a necessary part of every Sunday worship service. How about preaching? Is the purpose of preaching to declare who God is? Then should preaching be more of an outreach tool to those who don't know who God is, or is it a reminder to we who know God? Teaching; does this simply refer to instruction to those who know God or to teaching others about Christ? What parts of preaching and teaching are mutually exclusive?
How do you tell someone in a higher position than you that you think they may have done something wrong and they need to work out a problem they have with another person? How do you Biblically encourage them towards a Christ-like model of conflict resolution? How does one humbly and respectfully seek to correct others when they feel/know the other is in the wrong? When is voicing concerns about someone legitimate and when does it become gossip/a wrong appeal to a third party? What's more important: to be Baptist or to be Christian? Seems like an obvious one. If we're concerned with being Christian, why does being a Baptist matter? How do you revive a people who are already following Christ? Do these people need reviving? How do you renew a sense of urgency and excitement about salvation in a people who have grown up with the concept? Why do I waste so much time writing out questions like this instead of asking God directly?
