Nagaland church seems to turn as a concert hall

NAGALAND Baptist Church Council should diagnose the root cause why Nagaland Christian State which claims “Nagaland for Christ” becomes one of the corrupted states in India and mushrooming in worshipping satan which truly shocked the world? Candidly Nagas by nature and by blood loves Music. This genuine instinct has almost captured the entire worship service in the Church because it is no more of worshipping the living God but rather enjoying Music and entertainment for which little corner is giving accommodation to hear the precious Word of God. This is the main reason that our Church is declining because the Word of God is not abide in them, eventually their hearts are far away from the Lord.
South Korea Churches they printed everything in the programme and only the Order of Service they followed strictly, hence nothing interrupted the preaching of the Word of God. Pastor preached the solid Word of God and the congregation fully understand the Word of God and they grow in grace and intensified their faith which has shown by good works as a result in this contemporary world South Korea became the second largest sending Missionaries in the entire world.
In much contrary to our Nagaland Churches we are occupying all the precious times in giving many information one after another and then comes the best time for Music where everyone enjoyed as if they are in a concert hall and when everyone is tired and mood off then comes for preaching. Now, almost every heart is close to hear the precious Word of God. In this juncture Pastor is compel to preach only 15 minutes and if it goes beyond there will be a murmuring and attention is deadlock. After the service all the Church members begin to speak well of the Singers beautiful song, beautiful song but there will be hardly very few will speak well of the preacher, how the Word of God has changed his life from the darkness to light, from the hand of satan to the hand of God and how he got the eternal life through the hearing of the precious Word of God. This precious Word of God from where we get the eternal life has been much neglected and replaced with entertainment.
Consequently, there is no doubt to say that by misusing the Church Service as a Concert Hall and entertainment place for enjoyment all these corruption and satan worship is prevailing in our Nagaland Churches. We need to know that Music is eternal, even in Heaven we are going to worship the Lord through Music with all eternity, and here on earth Music convey the gospel message through song and brings uncountable lost souls to Christ. But Nagaland Church is misusing this Music for enjoyment rather than praising the Lord and very unfortunate to say that almost all the Nagaland Christians do not love to read and hear the Word of God, these are the genuine loopholes. Hence, Nagaland Churches must give importance to the Word of God by joining with the NBCC slogan, BACK TO THE BIBLE and eradicate the corruption and satan worship in our Christian land.
