Out of the Mouths of Babes

With a daughter in town from North Carolina and a reunion picnic on Sunday, we missed the opportunity to worship in church.

At one point, one granddaughter commented that she hasn’t been going to church because the youth minister “always talks about his son instead of God’s Son.” Her statement got me to thinking about some of the churches we’ve visited.

I think we all tend to indulge in preconceived views of churches by their name or denomination, i.e., Church of God, Christ Fellowship, Church of Christ, and many others. We tend to think they must teach rightly if Christ or God is part of their name, but is Christ IN the church? Sadly, some we have been to are focused more on their building or the minister. But do they preach God’s Word or their own interpretation?

There is only one true Church, and it is not a building. Are we discerning about where we worship? We should pay attention and test the spirits (1 John 4:1). Go to God in prayer. Meet with Him where He wants you to be.

Blessed Memorial Day.
