Reformed Piety

What I have often found is that those coming out of non-Reformed churches have a poor or deficient ecclesiology (or doctrine of the church).  I know that this was certainly the case for myself.  I had spent many years in contexts that emphasized the importance of "personal devotions" and very little time on the public "means of grace" (preaching and the sacraments).  Here is a great little post by Scott Clark on this very subject.

Short, sweet and to the point...we were both raised with this spiritual view and we've continually run into it in our 'new' PCA church...

Isn't it sad how many "Reformed" or "Presbyterian" churches are no different in many respects (whether it's worship or understanding piety) than the average evangelical church?
