FAITH The Three 'Ships' October 11, 2024   |   Don Wildmon The Three 'Ships'

Individualism is often celebrated and so the concept of public worship might seem outdated or unnecessary to some. However, in this episode of It's My Turn Bro. Don makes a compelling case for why public worship is not just beneficial but essential for our spiritual well-being and personal growth.

The episode begins with a fascinating historical anecdote about James Price, a British scientist who claimed to have discovered a method to turn base metals into silver and gold. His inability to reproduce his results led to his tragic suicide, a story that serves as a metaphor for the spiritual dangers of isolating oneself from public worship.

Bro. Don argues that many people today boast about their ability to worship the creator in solitude—whether at home, while traveling, or even on a golf course. However, when it comes to substantiating these claims, they often find themselves spiritually unfulfilled. To counter this, he introduces us to the concept of the "three ships" that make public worship indispensable: fellowship, scholarship, and worship.
