Bible Question:
I have noticed that many churches across America have (to me anyway) no semblence of a house of worship. I'm told that they are intentionally designed this way so that "unchurched" people will not feel threatened when they walk in. We have music that blasts as loud as rock concerts, drums, guitars, lights and sound sytems to rival any concert hall, comfortable seats, ample parking, and even food courts(!) It's all in the packaging, so I'm told . . . our job is to get 'em in the door, make 'em feel welcome and "at home" so that they can "hear the Gospel" and the Holy Spirit will do the rest. Is this meeting the needs of the world or "conforming" to the world? Is this necessary to reach the world with the Gospel? |
Bible Answer: Totally Unecessary. God chooses whom he chooses. These are but the ways of man. Man does not understand God...for we have not his nature. There is nothing wrong with having a good time. But God has predetermined who is to learn the truth now...and who will learn it in the second life ...and who will learn it at the end. JEsus Christ is the Saviour of ALL MANKIND. Do you really think God needs rock music ... for that matter...needs any of us to do what he is going to do??? If you think he does, you underestimate the POWER and GLORY and Ability of the Creator. Let him who has ears to hear,...hear. |
