Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no  conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be.

The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemble that of the world to get people of the world? The only change that should be taking place is that of the world coming into the church and loving the way God has outlined things to be done. The church is quickly losing its stance as an institution of difference and is starting to look no different from the world. The ladies dress the very same way they dress as if they are going out to the club. Their skirts are so tight they cant kneel to pray and their heels are so high  they have to flick them off and scatter them in the church pews. Where is the reverence in that?

The church continually implores people to walk away from the way of the world and join the church but why should they join the church when the church is starting to look no different from them?Christians use the same slangs like the world, they are as sexually obsessed as the world and they are as addicted to technology as the world. It is good to know of the things of the world so you can know what you are up against but don't be overpowered by it.

The church has singers coming to minister in their churches that aren't Christians. One night they are at secular events and the next day are claiming to be ministers of the word. Some of the churches of today are so far removed from God that the spirit can no longer be felt there. So you go to church one way and you leave the same way. If you don't have a deep relationship with God for yourself the church unfortunately can be the source of your religious demise.
