Thursday Thoughts For Parents: 02/15/07
February 15, 2007 10:07 amIs Our Worship Fun? Is Our Fun Worship?
Parents,
I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me that your kid sometimes complains of being bored at church. “Why can’t it be more fun?”, they might ask. Now you can come prepared to answer the question, Should worship be fun?
Last Friday, Bob Kauflin answered this question by posing a couple other questions of his own: Can our worship be fun? And: Should our fun be worship? He explains:
The fun this world offers is unsatisfying, deceptive, and temporary. Let’s not idolize or fall for it. As Christians, we can enjoy fun activities without believing they’re the root of our joy. The fun, joy, pleasure, and celebration we experience when we worship God is greater than the world will ever know, because the root is knowing we are completely forgiven through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Our joy is in God himself. We’d be fools to look for it anywhere else.

I read that a couple of days ago, and God graciously used it to convict me that I have been looking for joy in other things than in Him. I so often do this, but why? I can’t believe how….well….STUPID I am! Why do I go around looking for happiness in material things when all I could ever want can be found in God?!
