Church is not a place to worship God. It is a place to receive instruction. The early church met often, Not once a week. They met once a week to receive instruction. One of the best ways of remembering instruction is through Song. David wrote alot of music (the psalms) We all, when we hear a particular song, have memories return by the song. Some things we encounter, We use a song and a melody to remember a truth. God uses music in many ways.
As for worshiping God. God wants us to worship him with our lives, not in religious ceremony, repetitious by the book meetings once a week. He wants us to worship him by honoring him by living as he lived. By doing unto others. By sharing Gods love to a lost and broken world.
The church has saddenly taken from the pagans and the jews in their legalistic doings in ritual and ceremony. And gotten away from the true worship of God. The place we meet on Sunday is not God's house Gods house is our bodies, He does not reside in a house made with hands, The cross did away with this. The curtain was wrent in two to show he no longer is relegated to a clean room. And he no longer resides in a building. He resides in each and every one of his children. And he wants us as a family to do what he did. Look to him for guidance He showed us the way.
Oh if we would just return. God would hear our songs raised to him, He would power our work as we work for him, And he would bless us in ways we can only imagine!
