Avoid Empty Religion With This Core Attitude

Imagine that you showed up to church on Sunday morning and everything was gone.
  1. I would bring an offering of praise no matter what it sounds like, looks like or feels like.

    Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms (Ps. 95:2).

  2. I would make sure that no matter what church I go to, I am there because of Jesus and not because the worship is “amazing,” the teaching is “life-changing” or the place has an indoor coffee shop.

    But I fear that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve through his trickery, so your minds might be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ (2 Cor. 11:3).

  3. I would commit to live a daily life with Jesus and not rely on a church to fill me up so I can face the big bad world each week. Living a life of devotion will enable you to gather with your church family each Sunday without the expectation of them having to meet all your needs (because, in reality, they can’t).

    Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything, give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thess. 5:16-18).

Most importantly, however, I would make sure I asked myself this question on a regular basis: Is God enough for me?
