This is Calvary Baptist Church in Brewer, Maine. I went there when I was little. This is a different pastor than I grew up with, but it is still a reminder of what we are not missing out on. Rather than coming out with a deeper understanding, you come out with either a guilty conscience or a funny story.

Also, nearly half the service is singing. I don't bother visiting family for less than an hour generally. Same way for fellowshipping. 4-10 hour meetings with in depth discussion are more my style.

Yet, I listen to this every week so I can have some common ground with my mom.

I turned it off as soon as I saw the electric guitar. There’s nothing of value to the believer coming from that pulpit. There might be a mediocre salvation message offered to the nonbeliever, (that being Jesus is God, incarnated, lived a perfect life, died for our sins, resurrected, and sits at the right hand of the Father, and all you must do is believe and you will be saved), but even that I wouldn’t bank on.

There is no greater sign of the downfall of the modern church than the “church band,” as though it’s some late night talk show that needs live music to warm up the audience.

It is pretty much the point of mainstream protestant christianity.
