Thanks so much for this, brother. We recently visited a church like the one you described. It was mostly devoid of reverence for Christ, especially in singing. The preaching was marginally better. We visited with other family members since we were out of town, away from our home church. I find that many professing Christians do not know what to look for in a solid, Christ-exalting church (if they even care about that part). I’m not sure we even talk about this enough. I always hurt for those who seek self-satisfaction in worship. Sadly, we’ve all been there.

It is sad to see. May the Lord bless you this Easter weekend, hopefully at a faithful church!
So encouraging. Thanks.
Given the importance of worship, shouldn't we pay close attention to Paul's instructions for a New Testament service given in I Corinthians 14?
"If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord."
Yes 💯
Love this
