Worship attendees tend to grade the church experience for its friendliness of the congregation, the entertainment value of the preacher's sermon, and the skill of the musical talent. We don't pass out report cards, but sometimes it feels like one is being filled out each Sunday. The truth of the matter, there is only one grader, and He is filling out a report card for each attendee. Does our worship on this Sunday please Jesus? It's just the opposite of how we think. We are grading the performance of leaders on the stage. He is grading the hearts and attitudes of those sitting in the pews. The leaders are graded on faithfulness to the truth.
