Now That's Entertainment

I heard a great quote the other day about how we do "modern church". It went something like "most modern churches are like a rock concert warming up for a comedian". It struck me as ironic and confirmed my presumption that modern church is really Christian entertainment. We call it a "Worship Service" but let's be honest it has very little to do with the acknowledging the "worthship" of the Most High, the Creator of the Universe. I think most of us go to church simply out of habit because it is the right thing to do on Sunday. This coupled with some of the questionable business side of things going on lately cause me to wonder is this really what Jesus intended for His church. Compared to the examples we find in Scripture and specifically in the Book of Revelation, what we today call worship is like comparing an 8-Track player to an iPod.
