10 Reasons Why You Should Feel Uncomfortable in Church This Weekend

Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock discuss an article from Chuck Lawless about why pastors and church leaders should feel uncomfortable in church.

Some Highlights:

You will be worshiping the one and only, true and living God.
The Word of God penetrates to the depth of our being (Heb. 4:12).
All of us have sin to deal with.
Lost people should be there.
A supernatural enemy will want you to ignore or deny God’s Word.
You might have to deal with that person who “gets under your skin.”
The command of the Great Commission is still in effect.
If you’re a leader, you’ll answer for the way you care for the souls of the church (Heb. 13:17).
If you’re the preacher, your responsibility is great.
I say it again: None of us is perfect.
