Dan Mohler - False Identity - Church Attendance
We’re following Jesus. He’s not just taking us to heaven. He’s
teaching us what love is. Come on, Christianity is Christ-likeness.
Christianity is transformation. It’s not church attendance and singing
spiritual songs. It’s your life brand new. Christianity is you changed. It’s
not you a part of a church. It’s you changed. You being changed wants you to be
a part of a church - that’s what makes you want to be a part of a church. But Christianity is not church
attendance. Christianity is transformation and is the expression of Christ.
Look if you go to church and take your kids to church and don’t pursue Christ-likeness
without realizing it you’re teaching your children that Christianity is church
attendance because you’re less than Christ outside of church - and pursuing
less… Your life is more
than going to church. Sometimes if that’s all kids have, when they get
older they despise going because they went for so long and they’re just tired
of going because it’s just church…But a lot of times it’s the parents because
they don’t understand. They are not realizing it. They are going to church and
living less than Christ - spats and arguments and derogatory and demeaning and animosity
and frustration in the home - calling it normal. But then we go sing, “Holy is
the Lord” and go to church and we’re Christians. So all of the sudden the kids
go, “I guess Christianity is just going to church and God somehow loves us
because we’re a mess.” And you don’t even realize that you are actually inadvertently
teaching your family religion and that Christianity is church attendance
instead of Christ-likeness.1
I'm not rightly defined by just attending church but by whether I am changed.

3. Church attendance - vs. living like Christ - (:11)
