There are groups of people that don’t believe in “organized religion” and don’t see the value in being attached to any church assembly. Okay. But for those that realize the blessing of assembling with others of like precious faith, how did you arrive at the congregation where you now worship?

Let’s hope it was not for the following reasons…

1. Entertaining: The band plays hip Christian music, the preacher is so eloquent and energetic and you just feel so, well, entertained.

2. My family and friends have always attended: Fam and friends are there so it just makes sense. Plus it must be right if they are there.

3. Tolerance: They accept anybody. Meaning you can be a Christian and live any way you like and they won’t judge you or hold you accountable. They don’t bother me if I miss church. Overall loving family.

Let’s hope you are with this congregation for these reasons…

1. Sound doctrine. The beliefs, acts of worship, the things taught from the pulpit and in the classrooms are rooted in Biblical scripture and example. This is what makes it work. If your goal is to be in line with God’s word, you will be sure to worship where everyone else seeks the same thing.

2. Great godly workers. Every single part of the body of Christ must be actively working. They are all important. And they inspire others to good works. This helps the church grow.

3. Biblical leadership. Christ is the head of the church. The Bible highlights how the leadership structure should be. If it ain’t that, might want to re-examine things.

4. Family love. Rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep. Gentle rebuke of a brother who goes astray. Support and exhortation. We should be a family in Christ. Seek that.

You value worship and understand the weight that how you serve the Lord carries. You’re trying to get to heaven right? Make the effort to assemble with those of like precious faith.

Don’t just waste your life and afterlife just mindlessly sitting in the pew. Study your word to make certain you’re in the right place.

Just some friendly advice from your Christian Music Pusher.
