As long as it is called "Today", I will salt my words with warnings and encouragments for all who call upon the Lord with me. I would hope my brothers and sisters would do the same to me.
I attended a service this weekend which was completely uninteligble. From the singers who were over powered by instruments, to the preacher who spoke too close to the mike. In the end I walked out before the communion was offered. How can I partake in a holy ceremony without knowledge?
Should we expect that Jesus is glorified with their service? I can't tell you for sure what Jesus thinks of that place. Did I find the food I sought? I can tell you a truth: NO. I find no excuse for what they called worship. And I will offer no excuse for them. Should not the church judge itself? And shouldn't the Lord be glorified with all possible understanding?
Many hold religion as talking about God. God's people will listen to Him speak through His servants. And His servants will speak as God directs them. He will be heard. How else does God remain justified in saying that man will be without excuse. It is the soul which is blinded in those perishing. Their ears work just fine (for the most part).
I encourage us all to be clear and put away entertainment. And if technology gets in the way, go around it. It's the Lord of Heaven who will be worshiped.
By His Grace.
