1 | Should "lost" people come to church? | Luke 5:31 | JWteen | 218667 | ||
I'd just like to add that just as the prodigal son's father rejoiced to see him return, it makes our heavenly father's heart rejoice when he sees someone that has drifted away from Him start to come back to the CORRECT and TRUE way of worshiping Him (that includes choosing the right place of worship). Also remember that, just like Acts 10:34 states, God is not partial. | ||||||
2 | Should "lost" people come to church? | Luke 5:31 | fallen4shell | 218726 | ||
For my part, I meant in no regard that we should limit worship meetings to believers who have never or in any way drifted from God (would not we all be excluded?). I sincerely believe that ANY person who professes to be a follower of Christ (regardless of how effectively) should in no way be hindered from coorperate worship and I would furthermore insist that our worship services shoulr FOCUS on teaching such people how to more consistently, truly, and sincerely worship God rather than focusing our meetings on "selling jesus" to non-believers [who may or may not be present] while simultaneously neglecting the need of those who are ALREADY Christians for encouragement, exortation, teaching, discipleship, etc. Does that clarify my position at all? I feel like my original question has somehow been grossly misunderstood. | ||||||
