Must the Show Go On?

Worship is like any other spiritual discipline, it must be taught.  Who will teach them?  Who will lead them to the throne of God?  Will our services continue to be great programs or will they become great experiences with God?  Will they remain on the “cutting edge” or will they get to the center of the worship experience?  I encourage you to teach your people worship. It is not a mystery or difficult thing to understand.  They just need to be taught.  Don’t allow them go through life not understanding it.  Remember, worship is the only thing we will do in heaven that we do here on earth.  Why not get a head start on it here.  God desires true worship, we need genuine worship, and people are hungry for an experience with God through worship.

Must the show go on?  I feel that if we would get away from trying to please man and return to pleasing God, He will bring the revival we need in our churches.  He will bring the lost to our doorsteps.  He is and always will be in charge of who comes to Him and when.  Let’s be the light in the workplace and marketplace.   Let’s witness in the streets and in our schools. Let’s put on programs during the holidays and during the week and save our Sundays for worship.  It’s what God desires.  It’s why He created Sunday.  It’s about Him and Him alone. As we prepare for our services, lets keep in mind that He is the focus.  Drop the show and plan a celebration for the Lord who saved you from sin and desires to have fellowship with us.  Make it about Him and you cannot help but grow.

Maybe the drama can be considered worshipful--what if IT teaches. 1...more Submitted by: Mitchell M. Nugent Don't Mis-Read I appreciate your concerns and comments. What this article is trying to say is, the purpose of the church is to reach the lost. Spending money on equipment is essential to producing good music. Yes they are tools to help lead worship.
