GO TO CHURCH

The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones. -Beecher

Colossians 3:16, Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Going to church is not just for show. Going to church is for those of us that are not perfect. Going to church is for those who seek to know the Lord better. Going to church is a fundamental thing we can do to make us better servants for the Lord.

What are you doing today that would prevent you from GETTING UP, GETTING READY, and GOING TO CHURCH? If you want a closer walk with the Lord, reevaluate your plans and GO TO CHURCH!

LEARNING

           We should ever be learning about Jesus!

2 Timothy 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

            Our goal should be to be constantly learning about Jesus. Then, if someone were to ask us about a certain topic, we will be able to give them a Spirit filled answer. Lord willing, it will be an answer that will bring them under conviction of their sin.

            Do you feel like you have learned everything there is to know about the Bible? Friend, you are so wrong! The Bible is the richest book that has ever existed. You will never exhaust the depths found in the Scriptures!

LEARNING GOD’S WAY

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29

We just finished up a week long VBS. Someone asked, “Why do you do VBS?” I answered, “So we can teach the children about the Lord Jesus.” The fella looked at me like I was crazy. I expect it from lost people but this guy proclaims the name of Christ. So I looked at him and said, “Why wouldn’t we?”—No response.

It’s your job Mom and Dad to teach your kids about Jesus. The church is the extension of the home in which you can get help teaching your kids. The best way to teach them is for you to be there with them ever day VBS is going on. Your kids see it’s important to you so it becomes important to them and they learn without even knowing it! So if your church is holding a VBS—get off the couch and go support your kids and your church by helping out!

Learning along the way.

The best way out of a difficulty is through it. –Anonymous

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: Proverbs 24:3

Have you ever been working on something and run into a problem? Maybe you didn’t calculate correctly on the cost. Maybe you didn’t plan for something and in the mist of the project it became a problem. Maybe you didn’t program a thermostat the right way when you originally set it up and well it took you an hour to figure it out…..yep been there done that!

Well if we quit in the middle of the project, who would finish it? Who would get more money, get the finishing supplies or in my case—reprogram the stat? No-one! Sometimes we have to go through the door of adversity in order to learn some valuable lessons!
