When you immerse yourself in the study of the Scriptures and examine how the early Christians gathered, worshipped, and conducted themselves as a church, it becomes difficult to believe that much of what we call church today reflects how it was originally intended to be. Just imagine Jesus Christ physically seated in our services today. Would we still have the boldness to do some of the things we do in church? We are doing far too much to please ourselves, gradually pushing aside the reverence and godly conduct that should characterize our gatherings. We need to return to honoring God in our singing, preaching, worship, and conduct. We play too much and devote far too little time to the serious teaching and study of God's Word. How have we become a generation that can spend hours dancing and entertaining ourselves in church but can barely endure an hour of sound biblical teaching? The church belongs to Christ, not to trendy culture. It is time we allowed His Word to determine how we conduct ourselves as the household of God, gather, worship, and the kind of songs we sing in our services (1 Timothy 3:15)
