What Should the Church Look Like?

We live in a day of a constantly revolving culture, and it’s affecting every facet of life. The Church should be the center of how the world revolves, and it will be- one way or the other. If the Church compromises the ways of God as it is stated in His Word, so will the world.

So what’s a healthy church look like? Malachi 3 says, “Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.”

What does a church that serves God look like? Is God’s name being glorified among the church members? Are the lost of all ages being brought to God’s house? Are they leaving changed and coming back? Do people see the true image of Christ being lived by example daily? Are the people taking Christ with them to the workplace? Is conviction found each time God’s Word is being spoken by the pastor with truth and boldness for Christ? Does one actually feel God’s presence entering the church building and while the service is conducted? Do you feel changed, strengthened, and filled with hope as you leave each time? Are you becoming a much better servant for the cause of Christ from what you are hearing, seeing and feeling in the church?

God has established the Church as His visible stand to the people of the world. Does this describe the Church in your community?
