What is church today? Is it lights, is it music? Is it the fervor of the speaker? What about the flair of the powerpoint?
I almost can't stand the show that we're putting on now. I love how it makes me feel, but ashamed how it must make God feel. Can he really appriciate the mascarade we display.
Church is more for us than for our great creator. We worry about what people will think and how it will be received in the congregation. The shallowness of this world has even seeped into the very fabric of the church.
How did this happen? when did it happen? Why did it happen?
Since when has worship been about us? Either we sing quietly and are worried what the people around us will think or we sing loudly and want people to be impressed. Why is that?
Shouldn't we not care what people think and use the talents God has given us to worship him? Shouldn't we accept people and move on? Shouldn't we actually do what we say we are doing and actually worship?
Why do we worry about the lyrics on the screen? Why do we snicker when the worship leader makes a 'mistake'?... That's impossible by the way, to make a mistake while worshiping. Because the only 'mistake' we can make while worshiping is to. not. worship.
Don't worry about the lights, the music, the music stand possition, the screen.
God has everything under control. Worship Him. And don't put on a show.
