Seeing how seven is the number of completion, I am going to complete this series today. My final questions from students have to do with worship and church.
Is it wrong to worship God out of fear as a child or should you wait until you find a true reason to believe and worship?
Does God believe that you have to go to church to believe in him?
Can you believe in God and not go to church every week? How important is church attendance anyway?
I do not think we should worship God out of fear as a child or at any other point. We should worship out of reverence and because He alone is worthy of our worship.
You don't have to go to church to believe in God. HOWEVER, fellowship with the body and corporate worship are very important to the life of a true believer. I do not think that God is taking attendance on Sundays but I do think our spiritual growth is hindered when we are not with the body of Christ.
My students have asked some good questions and I am proud of them for wanting to know more about God. Beliefs are one of the hardest things to work out as an adolescent and my prayer is that each one with find the Way.
