I'm annoyed at some Christian celebrities at our church who thinks they deserve some special entitlement. They're like that to even outside church. I know a pastor who is so proud that some artists go to his church. I feel like they are being used endorsers or spokespersons for the church. That's very disturbing.

If it's anything other than to come and worship our Lord Jesus Christ as a family of believers, then trouble brews.<br /><br />But it's not uncommon that we are excited to go for other reasons. Heck I remember a season in my youth where I'd love to go to church because I was really, really, REALLY interested in a girl there. Talk about idolatry.<br /><br />But, who among us did not succumb to going to a church because we like the communication skills of the Pastor? I'm a huge fan of guys like Andy Stanley, Louie Giglio, and Francis Chan...and I sometimes catch myself telling friends about them more than about the God they serve. Guilty as charged<br /><br />There's only One who deserves glory every Sunday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375698416974338142noreply@blogger.com
