Bible Note: Mitch I think you misunderstood me. Church and our attendance in church is vital to our spiritual health. Yes we should go to church to hear the Word of God preached. Yes we should go to church to fellowship with our brothers and sisters. Yes we should go to church to worship. I was not saying anything to the contrary. What I said is we have to be careful we aren't following a man instead of God. Many attend one church not because the man preaches the Word of God but because he is entertaining, he is funny, he tells great stories, he keeps their interests. We have all seen them, they are all fluff and not substance. They preach as ear ticklers rather than men called to preach the Word of God. They use devices, technology, stage presence, oratory skills to mask the fact they have nothing to say. When people leave the service they have no idea what the man just said, but they know they liked it. That is when there is a problem. Ask yourself a question what did your pastor preach on today. Do you know? If you do consider yourself lucky because most people don't. They were feed smoke and there is nothing there. That is what I was talking about. EdB |
