Pastor Tells His Church That Insisting on Gathering for Worship Might Be Idolatry
(Reformation Charlotte) Since the “pandemic” began almost two years ago, many churches shut their doors–some for a very short time and some dragged it out as long as they could. Yet, as of today, some churches still aren’t meeting regularly out of fear of catching a cold.
As we’ve reported already, vaccination has become one of the professing church’s new ordinances–being required by many churches for people to gather together corporately for worship. Those who don’t submit themselves to the requirements have shown themselves unapproved in the eyes of woke, statist pastors and church leaders.
But another peculiar notion that has been exposed in light of the “pandemic” is that the idea of corporate worship is not central to the Church. Many churches are now turning to this “be the Church” movement that says corporate gatherings are not required and, instead, Christians need to “be the Church” by acting like Christians in their daily lives.
Of course, we agree that acting like Christians in our daily lives is important–not doing so would expose one as a hypocrite, not a true, born-again Christian. But one pastor, Darryl Ford of Ikon Community Church, took it even further. He says that concerning yourself with corporate worship “might be idolatry.”

Considered it for this week's vaccine discourse compilation, but probably not since vax isn't mentioned. pic.twitter.com/Lp9JNxMtHg

Maybe PT Barnum was right about there being a “sucker born every minute.”
After 30 years as a Southern Baptist watching the theological ground beneath my feet constantly shifting like I was in the middle of some sort of a perpetual earthquake I stopped and did a deep dive into church history. What I came to realize is that we in the west have been “reinventing” and “reimagining” Christianity to suit our purposes for a very long time and that what currently goes on in most of our church buildings has nothing to do with the apostolic faith or what Jesus called us to.
