What's the local church for anyway?

If only to heard a group of people into a building for a "worship experience" and then heard them out what's the point? Where is the intamacy and deep authentic community the local church was originally set up for. If the institutional church doesn't encourage community then what is the point? Is it to build a large building, get lots of people to attend to have money in the bank, or promote a person or their agenda? I long for a place which desires depth over width. I long for a place which makes much of Jesus and not much of any one man. I long for a place where people can wrestle through the sins and difficult things in their life with others openly without fear of condemnation. - Fleeting Thoughts
