The value of a church service

How can [we] sit at ease in a church with the world around [us] so damned?
- Leonard Ravenhill

While I see no flaw in Ravenhill's perspective I would simply like to add a little of my own. "Does God sit at ease in a damned world with only a damned church?"
My point here is this. If the church fails to be what God instructed it to be then we are certainly damned. If the church fails to lead a damned world to the life giving knowledge of God then the church is as damned as the world to which it was sent. The only way for the church to effectively change a damned world is through Jesus Christ. For He is the Way to God's Truth and Life- and He alone!

So remember this the next time you "go to church"- How can you changed a damned world if your worship in a damned church? It's not about you it's about HIM!
