NOTES

TRADITIONAL WORSHIP

We live in an interesting and challenging time when it

comes to worshiping God. Its fair to say that people in our
culture are very self-focused and individualistic. After all,
the world revolves around us! It is the job of the world to
fit itself into our lives. And, as a result, we control what and
when worship fits and when it doesnt. The sad result is that
fewer and fewer people actually go to church, gathering
with a body of other believers, than in years past. The idea
of a virtual church has emerged, that is, the acceptance
of worship via internet, or some electronic device, in lieu
of being physically present with other followers of Christ
because it is more convenient to the individual schedule.
But, Christianity is not virtual. One cannot be a virtual
Christian any more than Christ virtually died on the cross.
It was real and physical. Virtual worship is not a substitute
for the gathering of believers. It is important to see, pray,
sing, repent, confess, touch, break bread and offer praise
to God with the Body of Christ. Christian worship is not
something we watch from afar on a screen. A body needs
all the parts to be present to be whole. God made us to
fit into His body, not Him to fit into ours at our discretion.
Were glad you are part of this Body of Christ this morning.

(Ruling Elders) Do you
