TERRY SIMPSON: WHENEVER YOU COME TOGETHER

Описание: Whenever You Come Together

“Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.” (1Corinthians 14:3)

I want our church to be the church as it is in the Bible. Do you want that? You should, because it’s what God wants. We know that because the Bible is the Holy Word of God where He tells us what He likes and the way He wants things done in His house. My dad was the boss in his own house. Even after I grew up and moved out of his house, when I went to his house I knew what he liked and disliked. For example, I would never dishonor him by changing the tv station to something I wanted to see. I can hear him now, “Now son, I was watching that. I own this house and that tv, so don’t be changing the station away from something I’m watching. God wants done in His house what He wants done and He tells it to us in the Bible. We should want that too. You don’t go to someone’s house and tell the owner what you want to do and not do. Especially God’s.

It doesn’t really matter what we want or like, does it? The aim of our lives is to please Him in everything and that certainly includes what we do in church. We have an audience of one and our sole goal is to please Him. That’s what we see in Acts 2 when Jesus instituted the church. What He did then and the way it was then is to continue until He returns. That is The Model Church we are to model our church after.
