Going To Church

Studied Christianity, visited and learned just about every denominations' doctrines. In the past, I have been a teacher and deacon for a local deaf Church.

Worship is Personal

Worship is to be personal, in spirit and the focus should be on GOD only. Worship to me is DAILY and Sundays are my worship with my fellow believers. When we worship in Church, we focus on God and no one else. When we worship God in image, we are to "Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy." (Psalm 99:9). In the Beatitudes, worshippers instead of purity of their hearts, they have corrupted imaginings among themselves.

Christian will use their human nature to worship based on self and feelings. I have visited similar churches and seen posts in CF. The main focus from what I have seen "What's in it for me?". This also applies to the new movement called "emerging" which is a "friendly environment" for those who desire to have a community for self. God is asking Christians to surrender their own selfish little kingdom and focus on God's Kingdom. . People are so used to seeing everyone serving their own interests that no other kind of spiritual conduct is expected. "And anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whosoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (Matthew 10:38-39).

Many people are forgetting the REAL purpose of the CHURCH. Over the years, movements have changed the way we worship God. I have left and avoided many churches that do not Worship God the way God expected us to worship.

I know what you are talking about. This issue have been bothering me in the last 10 years. Worship have been changed to conform to the wishes of the people's desires
