I must ask the question, does it matter what place you choose to sing songs to/about Jesus?
Is there a difference when you sing to God in a church building oppose to in a bar?
Jesus once met with an adulterous woman who had had 5 husbands (wow) and the men she was currently living with wasn’t even her husband (I guess that makes him a lover, who was already married and maybe even had a family)…but yea she was caught up on the whole topic of worship and the story goes like this:
John 4:19-24
19-20 “Oh, so you’re a prophet! Well, tell me this: Our ancestors worshiped God at this mountain, but you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place for worship, right?”…Jesus answered “…but the time is coming—it has, in fact, come—when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. 23-24“It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.”
So does the place/setting matter? Will God love you more if you worship Him in a million dollar church building? Or in a building where there is a HUGE cross and white dove, and there is nothing but silence? ……To be continued
