Hiding your sin... in church?

"When people come to our church 'for the liturgy' I think I will begin asking how frequently they use porn, yell at their wife, or tell lies."  Pastor Toby Sumpter


I've heard myself and others say, "I go to X church for the good preaching.  I go to Y church for the great worship band.  I go to Z church for the beautiful service."  If you aren't going to church to see sin uncovered & slain and know Christ & worship God, then why go?  


"If we do not know God, then we will eventually find ourselves bowing down to pictures or statues that one of us made."  Pastor Doug Wilson.  Those pictures or statues could be porn or even a wonderful "worship service".  Both can hide and be sin.  And God will eventually destroy and dismantle those things, be it your porn habit or your happy, self-centered worship service.
