1 Corinthians 11 : 22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

Again this verse is saying they were not gathering for the right reasons because what they were doing had nothing to do with worshiping. They had made a party out of coming to church and had forgotten that the real reason to come to church is to fellowship with God and learn of His ways. This kinda of sounds familiar doesn’t it cause we have to have all kinds of parties and recreation to at the church or no one wants to come. If people think this is the reason to come church they might as well stay at home. Paul ask the question shall I praise you in this and he says absolutely not. I do not imagine that God would smile on church that felt it had to operate this way and the church itself might not be around much longer.
