God’s Word vs. man’s feelings and opinions…
H I G H E R T H I N G S __ 6
One is almighty and never changing; the others are feeble, and change like the wind. The Scriptures and our Small Catechism teach us that God’s Word is the highest authority. But far too often, people make how they feel and what they think the deciding factors when it comes to worship. Consider the following statements that Christians sometimes make: • “The most important thing about worship is to make people feel good.” • “Genuine faith is proven by how much joy one shows (especially in worship).” • “The subject of sin is just too negative for a good, joyful worship experience.”
