Is church really boring?
Is church really boring? David was glad to go to the house of the Lord, and the answer may say more about our involvement than about the church.
Key Takeaway
Church felt boring when he refused to get involved; David was glad to go to the house of the Lord, and the church is the people who make it up.
Key Scripture
Psalm 122:1 — “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.’”
Psalm 122:1 says, “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.’” Pastor David G. Kincer admits he once called church boring as a clock-watching teenager who never got involved, and reminds us that the church is made up of people.
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD.”— Psalm 122:1 (NKJV)
Scripture
Psalm 122:1 (NKJV) — “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.’”
Plain language: let God’s Word unite us, keep Christ at the center, and live out the same truth together.
Short transcript
Young people say church is boring. Pastor Kincer says he said the same thing at 16, 17 and 18, because he didn’t get involved and was a clock watcher. David said, “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.” Many Christians have lost that gladness and blame the church, but the church is made up of people.
