A recent event at a men’s conference<\/a>, where for the beginning act a man engaged in a questionable stunt involving a sword, has sparked widespread discussion and concern among believers. This incident is more than just a moment of misguided judgment; it underscores a deeper, more pervasive issue within the modern church\u2014the loss of the fear and reverence of God in a holy place. Do we really need gimmicks, entertainment, and stunts like this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastor Todd Coconato addressed this in a recent post: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my view, it\u2019s not just about two pastors making amends. I\u2019m glad that happened and that it needed to, but what about making amends with the Lord and repenting for what happened in a holy place? Let\u2019s think about what has been happening in some churches recently… I mean, kicking Bibles like footballs? Putting whipped cream on a Bible as a sermon illustration? When does it all stop? What is our message to the world? To God Himself? How can people of God who love the Lord even sit through these things? What will it take for God\u2019s people to act in a way that honors and reverences a holy God again in our houses of worship and lives? Friends, the hour is getting later, and the Bible is alive before our eyes. The church has a critical mission as the Body of Christ here on Earth. We must honor Him in all our ways. We are not perfect by any means, but we strive to be like Him and follow His word. We are accountable and teachable when we do something wrong. Sometimes we all need to course correct. But, He says to \u201cAvoid even the appearance of evil.\u201dWe are called to make disciples of the nations. To be about His business. To get people saved, set free, healed, and delivered. The harvest is plentiful, and the laborers are few. I pray we get serious about our walk and have an urgency for the hour we are now in. Let\u2019s be a repentant people. Let\u2019s be a set apart people of God\u2014in it but not of it\u2014and shine our light brightly! We don\u2019t need stunts and shows in our churches; we need a powerful move of the Holy Spirit!<\/p>-Pastor Todd Coconato<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
