A Thought for the Day – 048 – Why go to Church
Worry, sorrow, aggravation, backbiting and injury! For many people this
is their plan for the day. It could be that they have a chemical imbalance!
Yes, induced in their brain; but more importantly absorbed in their SOUL too!
Like; over indulgence on the physical side of life always produces over
indulgence of sin in the spiritual side of life. Proverbs 23:29-35.
Comments and challenges
This
statement I make from time to time will never be worn out, especially for me. “I
love the Word of God” for me it is as fresh as the sunrise and as cool as the
early morning breeze. The warmth of the rising light and the chill of the
passing night, a unique experience that God has given as a blessing to all of
mankind; an experience that points them to Creation who speaks clearly to all
people groups the world over, Psalm 19:1-4
Here is
another thought! What is in it for you to go to church? Or I can say it this
way; what do you expect to get out of going to church? For some of us there is
the opportunity to see auntie or sister, for another a night out and away from
the doldrums of being home alone, no doubt you can come up with an idea or two
that misses the mark too.
Like my
first comment, I love the Word of God; I also love to go to church. Not so much
to see a brother or sister or an uncle or aunt since all of those born into the
family of God by faith in Jesus Christ are my brothers and sisters, so I have
an abundance of relatives there. I love to go to church because this is where
my love for the Word of God is most satisfied.
Some of
the truths experienced in church last night were about the Garden of Eden and
the Tree of Life, as believers in Jesus we are going there in God’s recreation
of the new heavens and new earth. Revelation 22:1-5. Also, we experienced
fellowship with Jesus Christ through communion and reflected on the truth that
Jesus is the Bread of Life, more boldly He is the Tree of Life. John 6:22-40
and verses 66-67.
Also,
we saw that Jesus is revealed as the Way, the Truth and the Life to all peoples
of the world, even people groups of animistic cultures, those who fear the
spirit world around us. Ephesians 6:12. So these are just a few reasons I go,
these reasons bring me closer to my brothers and sisters in the LORD, closer to
Jesus and provide a closer understanding to the world around me. WOW! Have a
blessed day.
