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: The Bible says, better is one day in your courts thousands elsewhere.... This is very nice question not just to be answered but also to be thought of.... When a person walks in HE or SHE should feel the POWER and LOVE and also the JOY of the HOLY SPIRIT. The place or church should be like CHRIST LIKE then only they will feel LIKE HOME. Oh yes, I like rock concerts and suffs like that for i am also into this.... But the main point is, if you need to reach the world with the Gospel, yes we can to used the best what we have BUT "IT NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAITH THE LORD. |
