Are you glad when it’s time to go to the house of God to worship? Are you glad when someone asks you to go to church? Are you really happy when, on the Lord’s Day or any other day, you can go to church? The psalmist was.
Denominations have changed worship of God into an entertainment for worshippers. Why? Because they cater to today’s carnal men and women who think worship is boring. So what did they do? They make worship into a rock concert. They employ musicians and singers. Their worshippers “attend church” not to worship God but to watch a performance. They go to “church” to be entertained. There is no God in those entertainments.
Worship should never be boring. The first century Christians did not have those rock concerts to entertain them. Yet, the Christians were together at every opportunity to worship God and at the same time, had fellowship with one another (Acts 2:42-44). They were in the church to worship God and not to be entertained. They were true worshippers (John 4:24).
If worship is boring to you, the first place you must look is inside yourself. Don’t look at the preacher. Don’t look at the worship service. Don’t look at others. Look at yourself! Ask yourself why you find worship boring? Check your spiritual health. Have you been constant in prayer the past six days? Have you been meditating on the word of God during the past six days at home? Have you been living the Christian lifestyle the past six days? Have you prepared yourself to come to church on time for worship? Have you made up your mind to sing, pray, and listen attentively in the worship? You see, you will only get out of your worship services what you have put into it.
Why should we be glad to go to church?
