It seems like every restaurant, cafe, small business asks you and I to give them a great review on facebook, Yelp or Google.
You can even rate your local church and help others decide if it is doing a good job, or not so good.
Well here's the thing: wether we give our church a good rating or bad rating on Google Reviews... the Bible says our church will also be given a HEAVENLY RATING!
In the book of Revelation 1-3, John wrote down the words of Jesus Himself to the 7 churches in Asia minor. Jesus gave a rating to each church. Only 1 had a 5 Star rating. How do you think your current church would do if Jesus came and gave you a Heavenly Rating? I sure hope it would be a good one.
But we need to be honest with ourselves and with the Lord.
Did you know that you don't actually have to wait until Judgment Day to find out your rating from God's POV? That's right! He gave us His WORD so that we could rate ourselves now according to it and then, adjust and correct everything that is messed up.
The bottom line for churches is this: Are we producing a final product that strongly resembles what Jesus commanded us to build when he gave His GREAT COMMISSION in Matthew 28:18-20!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
