The last church I went to, they had a girl there preaching that there wasnt just "two genders", and that we needed to be respectful of those who dont feel they are what they were born as.
It was a really weird thing to happen for me, and I stopped going after that night

Oh, and on topic post, I worship God often, when I learn something new that boosts my spirits, or hear the testimony of another of His flock, or when walking to work (I think about God mostly on my hour walk to work ) when working, when dealing with difficulties and feeling better when calling out to Him, when I do well, I praise and worship Him several times a day, and I feel more happy than I ever have in my past life when I do

I worship with the church that Christ established- the Church of Christ (Romans 16:16). Why? Because it is the only one I found that matches the one true church spoken of in the bible, and have found false doctrine in all the other religions i've studied up on. Like the bible says, study to show thyself approved onto God. It also says, "They worship Me in vain, teaching the doctrines and commandments of men- which are merely human rules.
I do not want my worship to be in vain! I want heaven as a result of my worship to God.

Well, Osteen preaches the word of God quite consistently. But because he often does not use Christianese and doesn't give people verse numbers to look up, thereby "authenticating" what is being said, look at the flack most people here give him.
Many people just have to hear their sermons in "churchy-sounding" vernacular, or else they are unable to associate the message with the Bible, nor relate to the teaching.

I worship at home, in church, where ever I am, because God is worthy of praise.
I go to worship Jesus with a bunch of redeemed sinners like me in a local baptist church, where I am learning to look at the treasure within, though the vessels maybe flawed and fragile. I seek to be a blessing, to uplift and encourage.
It is so much harder to see what God is building and ignore the failure, than to respond in the flesh and get upset.
I get the impression the church is there to prepare us for what the world throws at us, if we cannot reach out to our fellow believers, we are not exactly going to do very well with the lost.

I can't name all of the places that we have discovered and been shown where we can and do worship
the Creator and Master of us all -
one of the things that we will never get over or tire of is God's timing and of course, the wonder of Him
and the wonder of it all....
bending to our knees or folding or lifting up our hands does show our great honor and respect, but when
we learn to love each other and forgive each other as He does us, this always takes the meaning of worship
to a higher level,
ZEC.14:20
In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD;
and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

According to the Word we are all living stones of the Temple with Jesus Christ as the Head and the Corner Stone. He is the Stone the builders rejected, gone to sit at the right hand of the Father.
He teaches His Apostles about the buildings of the Temple that there will not be one stone left upon the other before He returns. This dismantling of the Temple began then, and today there is hardly one stone left upon the other.
When two or more are gathered in His name, He is present. He is soooo good, amen. Where ever we may be, amen.

PLEASE! Lets not get off on leaders and denominations. This is just between us and God.
I agree that we can worship anywhere at any time. I like a true organized group of believers to worship with also. I prefer the accountability and direction. Sometimes in private study I get stuck and I like the bible study groups at our organized Church. I helps to keep straight and squelch pride.

Politics, stories about their family life, the prosperity message, feel good about yourself, and honestly? The ones that got us to move on are simple ramblings. Maybe it was connected to God's word, but some preachers ramble so much, I never did get how it was connected or what they were talking about.
