Quick takeaways
- Drinking coffee during corporate worship is not inherently wrong, but the focus should be on cultivating a deep and satisfying experience with God and his people.
- To avoid inappropriate casualness in worship, churches should strive for a more God-centered and serious approach to preaching and foster an atmosphere of sustained, God-focused gravity.
Deep dives
The Absence of a Profound Experience with God
The heart of the matter is not the coffee mug in hand. It's the absence of a kind of experience with God that would make a Christian soul long for regular encounters with God and his people that are so profoundly satisfying in the depth of their being with his majesty and his sweetness, in the seriousness of their joy and the weightiness of his glory that a coffee mug would simply feel strangely out of place.
