Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

You might recognize this line from the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. What matters to me, this series, and hopefully you, is the meaning behind it.

There are many voices in the Christian world from which to choose. In some states, in the US, there are Churches on just about every street corner.

If you go to most any Church in the US, you will see and hear mostly the same things, in the same order, and done the same way they have been done for decades.

Sure, there may be a few minor doctrinal differences, but it is all basically the same stuff we have all heard before for our entire lives. Service starts with Worship, followed by a few announcements, and then a time of preaching.

The only real change that you will find, depending on the denomination and Church you go to, is the Worship. Most Churches no longer use hymnals. Most Churches now have more modern and lively Worship, which I applaud.

As for the words preached, they have not really changed either. Now, I am not advocating re-writing the Bible. Not that I could if I tried, though many have. God and His Word is the same yesterday, today and forever.
(In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 ESV)

But just because something has always been done a certain way, does this mean that is the right way, the only way, or best way? Society is always changing and evolving.

God has not changed, but we have, and the world in which we live. We are moving more online and into a digital world each day.

• Our speech has changed
• Our traditions have changed
• Our values have changed
• Our music has changed
• Our entire world has changed

But most of the way we do Church, and the way we see God, has not changed.

Lets explore all this and figure out just what are the Things Of God!
