What About the Others?

It strikes me that people in church, normal people, have a lot of great stuff to share. This has struck me for a while, and I've repeated it here perhaps more times than anyone cares to read, but it's worth saying... Over and over and over.

So why do we keep assuming only the pastors have anything worth saying? Anyway, this is sort of a recurring complaint with me, and while I'm not sure what complaining accomplishes, it's safe to say that I'll continue to complain about it. My own church deals with it pretty well, but I would still like to see even more emphasis on the priesthood of all believers. And not just in a humoring way, but in a very real way.
