The Bible teaches us that we live in a fallen world. In this imperfect world we must learn to cope with bitter disappointments, terrible tragedies, heartrending circumstances, and many hard providences from God that we may never be able to understand this side of eternity. There are many tears that seem impossible to wipe away from those with a broken heart. But I have found over the years that the Word of God is the best comfort to God's children who are going through times of sorrow and suffering. Once we pass through the fire and the water we come out with a wealth of treasures.
When defending the faith, it is not sufficient to merely go after a few surface issues. The real battle goes much deeper. The defender of the historic Christian faith must blast deep into the foundations of the enemy's worldview by exposing and destroying his presuppositions. The battle for truth cannot be won apart from destroying the false presuppositions held by those who reject the gospel.
You cannot bring God with you to church, (in this sense) unless you have first met with Him and have spent time in His presence. We need to teach our youth and our adult congregations, once again, the importance of reverence to God, respect to the Lord's house, and to those who preach the gospel. We need to teach them that we draw near to worship the Most High in a spirit that is not only filled with joy and praise but is also characterized by the fear of God. We all want our churches to be filled with the glory of God. We desire that our services will be characterized by the reverent spirit of God's presence. Let us pray that the Lord will guide His people and give each pastor wisdom in leading his church in corporate worship in such a way that will not distract from the glory of God or hinder the message of the gospel. If all I accomplish here is to cause the Lord's people to rethink this subject, I trust it will be of some benefit to the glory of God in His church.
