So Loved

Psalm 47:1 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

Expressed emotions can be a problem during a worship service. Each of us have our own opinion of how it should be done. The mature Christian will understand that not everyone is the same. The mature Christian will search out directions and focus on what our Bible say is the correct way to behave in all circumstances. Most folks find a group of “like believers” and worship the LORD together in an orderly fashion.

 

Problems come when people from other churches join and want things done the “correct way”, or, “their way”. Have you ever heard, “Well, that is the way I have always done it”? Anytime we do something because of tradition, without Biblical direction, we will mess up.

 

We have seen its OK to lift our hands in praise of Jesus. This week we learn that its OK to clap our hands and to shout unto God. Worshiping the Lord should be our primary purpose during all church services; not for personal attention, or, disturbance of preaching God's WORD! We are told that all things are to be done in decency and in order. It's the Evil one that causes turmoil and dissension among God's people.

 

  Christians should be considerate, but not to compromise our faith. We should be tolerant of unlearned folks, but not to the accepting of anti-biblical teachings. Finally, we should love the sinner, but hate the sin.

 

I'm glad God “so loved”. Did you know that “so” is limitless?

 

God Bless;
