maybe it's me.....
I have been pondering this subject for awhile......
Why is it important to be involved in corporate worship?????
I have struggled with worship styles at our church for a long time and a couple of weeks ago after visiting a friends' church which has a modern worship band and more than "2.3 songs" to sing, I have REALLY wrestled with this question.
Don't get me wrong, I think our church is right on doing "kingdom" work and we are growing and in the middle of a building program to grow some more......but something is missing, at least, for me and, I suspect, for my family.
There have been other problems that I have observed...people are not feeling fed or loved and are moving around within the bounds of our numerous classes to find their niche.
That bothers me......
I don't think that one should jump ship just because they are feeling.....needy....we are to bloom where we are planted and what if it isn't about US!!!!
That is what I struggle with!
I can worship God in my home, in my truck, it does not have to be on Sunday morning, in fact, it rarely is, however, am I going to leave my church???
NO!
What did the early church do "at church"?
They ministered to one another and ate together and gave up everything for the cause of Christ, together....
I guess, that is what is missing, is this...togetherness with like minded Christ followers who serve one another.....
I think, also, we get caught up in our stuff at church, that we don't listen to the Spirit's leading.....
I don't know...maybe it's me....
Maybe not.
