It’s about reverence. Nothing more and certainly nothing less.
We used to be a reverent society. Now we’re more interested in what the right fit is for us. If you can’t show up on time for church and can’t show up without looking like a beach volleyball player, how is your worship supposed to be reverent?
And if your worship isn’t reverent, where else will you compromise? We should do all we can to remind ourselves that whenever we step into a church we don’t go there for ourselves — we go for God. What we get in return is the closeness with Him that makes worship a truly enriching, and miraculous, experience.
Exactly....and honoring the One who made us. Some forget that He is the audience who must be pleased with our offerings of worship, NOT us!
Want to be “entertained”? Go to a theatre or zoo!
God will not be mocked.
