“Live wisely among those who are not believers and make the most out of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.”
(Colossians 4:5-6, NLT)
There are at least three types of churchgoers. One, those who think they know everything they need to know. They obviously don’t listen because they don’t think they need to learn anything. They are plateaued and stagnant. They don’t grow in the grace and knowledge of God. They are satisfied where they are. These are the vast numbers who wouldn’t know if the pastor was preaching heresy, because they don’t listen to what he says anyway. They come merely as a matter of habit and convenience. They are not wise.
Secondly, those who think they know everything. Their main occupation at church is to critique. If they don’t agree, whey will argue and leave. These cant’ grow either. They are not wise at all.
Thirdly, there are the ones who never know enough. They come hungry, eat, and come back the next time hungry again. They are not stuck where they are; they are growing, becoming stronger and more like Jesus. They take advantage of all the services and the notes that are passed out. These ask questions. To them, “Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do.” (Prov.4:7, NLT)
