What’s Your Question? for May 7

Is this worship?

A local paper carried an article about "The Country Rock Church." It sounds like The Cowboy Church, just a little more entertaining. It meets in a bar-room and advertises: "Top regional bands, pizza, wings, rowdy fun & a short message." If it doesn’t make any difference how we worship, just so we are sincere, this sham would be appealing! It is the result of feel-good religion and drawing people through entertainment rather than through the gospel. Jesus said God seeks true worshipers who will worship Him "in spirit and in truth" (Jn. 4:23,24), and He identified truth as God’s word (Jn. 17:17). Those who substitute human wisdom for God’s revelation need to be reminded that not everyone who "says Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven" (Mt. 7:21).
