Church

😔 Why Church is Boring 😔

I have always been a MUCH bigger fan of small group Bible studies then massive church services.

Why do our churches run the way they do? Could it be that Satan has a big grip on us through the traditions of our churches?

We do things the way they have always been done because they have always been done that way. But is that the way Church was meant to be?

Does anyone remember anything their pastor said each week? No. Probably not. Honestly. And Why not? Because it’s a lecture and not a discussion. People almost never remember a lecture because our mind is barely engaged in a lecture. Our mind goes half asleep in a lecture. But a discussion! That is where there is life and real growth! That is when things are remembered forever and true life change can happen!

Was not the original church in Acts a group of people where Every Single Person had a voice? It was much more like an active group discussion then a lecture. So WHY now is it only the pastor’s voice that is heard in church?

Is church really church? Can we really say church is church, as God intended it to be?

Think about it.

What did Paul say church was supposed to look like? “When you come together, EACH of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.”

This is why the program Celebrate Recovery is such a beautiful program because EACH person really Can have a voice. Every two weeks anyone can give their testimony. In groups anyone can share a word to inspire others. Isn’t that what normal church SHOULD look like? Yes. So why doesn’t it? Hm...

I think it is time to seriously fast and pray for our American churches to look more like church, as God intended it to be. Maybe our society wouldn’t be falling down the drain if we actually let Every person in the church talk and share and not just the pastor. 🤔

May God open doors for this to happen!

And read Francis Chan’s book “Letters to the Churches.” It’s great!

May God bless you! 😁👏🏼
