The church is supposed to be a place where people gather with one common goal: to worship and serve the Lord. That’s the true purpose of the church.
But if you read the Bible, you’ll see division in the church even back then—and sadly, it still exists today. Not everyone comes to church to worship God. Some come to gossip. Some come to mock others—judging what they wear, whether they give the best offerings, or how involved they are in church activities.
Instead of a house of God, the church sometimes feels like a fashion show, a gossip hub, or just another social club. People forget that the true reason for gathering is to worship God, to love and accept one another, and to introduce more souls to Christ.
When the focus shifts to appearances, competition, and mockery, the church becomes suffocating. It drives people away instead of drawing them closer to God.
What the church needs is a reminder of its purpose. To fish out the poison of pride, judgment, and gossip—and replace it with love, encouragement, and acceptance. Because at its heart, the church should be a home where broken people are mended, not where they are mocked.
