IS THIS A SHOW?

In my 30 plus years of going to church; I've heard on numerous occasions that "CHURCH IS NOT A SHOW" but every time its said It brings a feeling of "there's got to be more to this story". LOL I've never been one to seek out attention but to except that humbleness for the church go hand in hand with passiveness, I find it hard to except. Maybe the statement was speaking of; when singers do more performing than ministering. Better yet, the preachers that speak after the word has taken place and have no other reason for doing so except to make there presence known. Okay I got it; the secretary who announce the announcements in his or her own swag, taking up precious time in the service. There's so many areas that fall under and out of the statement "THIS ISN'T A SHOW".
At first glance; one would assume that someone sung a song and tried to show out but can we define that as being wrong? Most gifts that I've seen given by God was for someone to see or hear. Who am I to judge weather or not they are showing out for Christ or themselves. I've seen one person get saved after the worst solo sung ever and I had over half the church in agreement with me. So, we really don't know. 1 Cor 1:27 God chose the FOOLISH things to confound the WISE. Despite how we were taught to do, God often come out the box on us. Now this wouldn't be confusing IF WE FOLLOW God's LEAD hmmm LOL.Thankful to God; he has ordained order in the churches. In other words, there's a leader. I can't imagine having numerous leaders with there on direction. WOW, that's a lot of foolishness going on in the churches LOL
This statement is one of great importance. If you enforce the statement; you promote a certain type of dull characteristic. Brought on by passive nature, Low self-esteem, and low moral within the body of Christ. We as humans pride on competition. That's one of the concepts of being saved, TO MAKE IT TO HEAVEN and the other is loving CHRIST. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so; means you act out. Study to show yourself......., A action!! Seek and you shall find......, A action. Enforcing this would sit COGIC down from praise dance, Baptist deacons from praying and Catholic from confession.

Now the flip side to letting the statement ride; is you have any and everything coming across your church audience. Preachers that take the members in a direction other than the direction the Pastor want to be taken. Choirs singing songs that don't promote Christ. People in general that act out of self rather than God's truth. To allow this statement to stand alone is to allow freedom to act holy or unholy. Mathew 7:15 warns of false prophets. This scripture alone brings truth in a portion of this statement. Most false doctrine are meant to persuade(SHOW) just as much as the word of God.
To bring clarity to the statement "THIS ISN'T A SHOW"; It must be added to. This would not only bring understanding to certain matters but promote order and harmony. Thinking of a better statement is a bit much but I'll take a chance on it. How about THIS ISN'T A SHOW THAT DON'T PROMOTE CHRIST, MAKE SURE ITS IN LINE WITH WHAT GOD WANTS AND IF YOU CANT BE SURE DON'T SHOW!!
I believe that we do Christ a great injustice when we don't give him our best or the best that he's put in us. A greater injustice even more; when we allow ourselves to block the flow of God with our selfish, showboat ways. Giving our best through God is one thing. Giving our best through ourselves is another.
