Are We Worshipers or Art Critics? | Grandma's Ramblings
I saw a quote from Francis Chan that reminded me of this post. Thought it was good enough to share again: His quote: “Random church goer: ‘I didn’t think worship was good today.’ Francis Chan: ‘Good – we were not worshipping you.’”
Today we sang a song in worship and it started me thinking.
When we go to church, are we coming as worshipers or art critics?
We often hear people complain about the church.
- It’s too formal
- It’s too informal
- The preaching is too long
- The preaching is not long enough
- They are too many hypocrites
- It does not meet my needs
- They only sing old hymns
- They never sing old hymns
On and on it goes.

Church should be a place that meets our needs.
But I wonder if we have become so focused on ourselves, we forget what true worship is supposed to be about.
This song reminds me:
It’s all about you…
