Without God!?
Sunday service but without God!?
At a theatre in Stockholm, Sweden they want to have a Sunday service, just as the one in a church but to without God.
They have Sunday preachings, songs, and coffee and rolls after the service, but no God.
Asked why they do this they say: we want to reach those who are not believers but want to have some kind of spirituality.
They also say that the difference between a service in a church and in their place is that through their service they want to reach the hearts of the audience and not their minds.
Well the purpose of service is so God can reach others through our hands. In II Cor. 9:12-13, the Bible says that the service we provide not only meets needs but expresses thanks to God and leads others to praise God. The Bible also says that service builds up the "body of Christ." (See Eph. 4:12.)
During a service in a church we often talks about the Heart of man. According to the Bible, a person's heart reveals his true nature and motivation. In Jeremiah 17:10, the Bible says that God "search the heart and examine[ the mind" and then rewards people for what their conduct deserves. As Jesus pointed out when observing the widow's offering, the significance of the action is driven by the heart (Luke 21:1-4). Jesus said that the widow gave more to the temple by giving two coins than those who put much more in the temple treasury because of what was in her heart (she gave all that she had).
The one in charge of this service have a favourite speaker and that's Desmund Tutu.
Inviting a Priest from South Africa, a true man of God, for what?
For me it's very hard to understand this concept. To meet have fellowship and have fun with friends is one thing
but to have a service with almost all the indigence from the church, but excluding God is odd. They want to have it all but want to be God themselves.
I'm glad to be a part of a Fellowship a church were we meet, have meaningful relationship with others, and with God. Connect with others and with God, help others and get help.
I love going to church...
