In the church, we often get caught up in the “business” of church.
Making sure everything runs well and is set up correctly has become more important than our primary goal….souls.
To some of you, it may be cliche when I talk about souls. Outside of honoring God for sending us Jesus, the souls of mankind are supposed to be our primary concern.
In the early church, people viewed the Sunday worship experience as a time to sgare and a time to strengthen one another. It was not a time to just listen to a sermon, hear a good song, shout/dance and go home. Since the world has become more egocentric, the church has fallen into line and copied the same pattern of thought and operation.
Our church participated in the Quarterly Service of the family of churches we fellowship with. There were things that ran smoothly and things that did not run smoothly (technology….).
The highlight of the night was not the singing of the choir or the sermons that were preached. It wasn’t even the prophetic words that our Bishop spoke.
One person gave their life to the Lord. That was the only thing that mattered.
