Worship WHAT?

The Heights Family Worship Center. That's the name on a nice new building about two blocks from where my wife, Diana, and I live. We weren't aware of it since we seldom come into or go out of the neighborhood from that direction. We saw it last night because there was a fire across the valley and, well......we wanted to gawk.

The name immediately struck me as having three characteristics. First, it's man-centered, not God-centered. God doesn't rate a mention. Second, it's something an Evangelical church would do--soft-pedal God and the truth. Third, it's cowardly. That's why Evangelicals like it. We want to be accepted be everyone. It seems to say, "We're friendly, not holy. So you'll be at home here. Godliness, no longer required." That's all I have to know about that church. They're focused on themselves. They won't stand persecution, even if it's just a disapproving frown. They are concerned that everyone love them.

Well.......everyone but God.

In Christ,
Phil Perkins.
