I drove past this the other day. I don't know about you, but I'm not really in the market to have my headlight lenses polished. Ever. And to my recollection I never have been, or ever will be.In short, they are providing something they can do that no one really needs.
Is the church doing this?

Scott,
Imagine the difference in clarity when your headlights ARE polished. I've had mine polished.
Try it.
By the way, where did you take this picture? Did you travel to 1977?
If you had a volkswagen you wouldn't understand this.
I meant "would" understand this...darn proofreading...
no one really needs jesus?
Marshall's theology is whacked. Let's burn him at the stake.
"Is the Church doing this" as in, at what points are we doing things we can do (e.g., create a big Sunday show, invite people to events that don't really add transformative value, create massive structures) that people don't actually need?
I agree with Scott's question. What is needed is Jesus not "the church"! So, what do we do now?
What people need is Jesus what they are often offered is club membership and a chance to transform their Sunday habit from watching football to sitting in a pew instead. If we don't offer people a chance to meet Jesus (the Jesus that transforms our lives not just changes our subculture identification) then we are trying to revolutionize the auto industry with headlamp polish. I think Scott's pointing out all the church signs reading "come and join us" - it is offering something people don't even know that they need.
