Bible
In today’s secularized, man-centered culture. Many Christians have never thought through the meaning and importance of worship. It is not an overstatement to say that our pleasure-centered culture has produced many who work at their play and play at their worship. Why this confusion and tragic failure regarding worship? The answer lies in another question: Why do we worship — is it for God or for man?
The unspoken but increasingly common assumption of today’s Christendom is that worship is primarily for us — to meet our needs. Such worship services are entertainment-focused, and the worshipers are uncommitted spectators who are silently grading the performance. From this perspective preaching becomes a homiletics of consensus — preaching to felt needs — man’s conscious agenda instead of God’s. Such preaching is always topical and never textual.
Biblical information is minimized, and the sermons are short and full of stories. Anything and everything that is suspected of making the marginal attender uncomfortable is removed from the service, whether it be a registration card or a “mere” creed. Taken to the nth degree, this philosophy instils a tragic self-centeredness. That is, everything is judged by how it affects man. This terribly corrupts one’s theology.
HALELUJAH. MIGHTY GOD HELP US TO WORSHIP YOU IN TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT ALWAYS
