We all love entertainment. Who doesn’t love a good movie? I love the movies. When my wife and I were dating we’d go to the movies practically every weekend. I like movies so much that this past summer I saw every blockbuster in the theater. I saw the epic “Dark Knight” 4 times! Man, thinking back on it, I may have given cinema a bit too much money! That notwithstanding, entertainment can be a good thing.
We’ve become an entertainment society. We look for entertainment everywhere, including our churches. However, is that a good place to look to be entertained? Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a great worship band and neat graphics as much as the next guy, but those things are nothing without God. Church isn’t a place to just be entertained. It’s a place to be challenged to live for Jesus. It’s a place to learn about God’s love a grace. Church is where the spiritually hungry come to learn where the food is located.
Let’s get hungry for God. Let’s not go to church just to see what the band will sing, or the cool videos used by the pastor. Isn’t it time to make sure we are coming to church to hear a word from the Lord? Isn’t it time we are here on Sundays and Wednesdays to hear from God? I think so. If you are missing out on God on Sunday or Wednesday, what happens when you need him the rest of the week?
