LET’S GO TO CHURCH!

The Christian church is a society of sinners.  It is the only society in the world, membership in which is based upon the single qualification that the candidate shall be unworthy of membership. –Morrison

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. Psalm 65:4

The first Sunday of the New Year is upon us! What will you do? Will you go to the lake, the park or will you GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH? Will you forsake the fleshly desires of your heart to neglect time with fellow believers? Will you repent of the slothful man you have become when it comes to your faithfulness? Will you trust Christ knows what’s best for your life and that best begins with you attending church when the doors are open?

Spend some time with the Saviour today—in Church!

WHOM DO YOU LOVE?

It is within our nature to love someone…

            Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25

            I am going to a wedding today. The groom is a friend of mine that I use to work with. He is a great guy and he truly loves his bride.

            I enjoy going to weddings. It reminds me of the great love that Christ had for the church. It reminds me how much Jesus loved me before I knew Him. (But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8) It reminds me of how I should love my wife. (Ephesians 5:25)—unconditionally.

While Jesus first loved us and gave Himself for us on the Cross of Calvary, it should be our response to love Him back! “We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19” So…WHOM DO YOU LOVE?

Does my church love sinners the way Jesus does?

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; Ephesians 2:19

I am thankful on this Sunday morning the church I was attending when I got saved had a love for sinners! If not, I may not have ever come the second time. I may not have even ever gotten saved! I am also glad I pastor a church that loves sinners now. If it didn't, I would resign and leave.

How is your church doing in this area Pastor? Choir Leader? Choir Member? Sunday School Teacher? Church Member? Do we have the love of sinners as Christ did? If not, we need to do something about it!

What is your desire on this Sunday Morning?

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4

There are no perfect people in this world. We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. The different between the Christian and the lost man is what He has done with The Lord Jesus Christ. The lost man has done nothing with Christ and stands in judgment—to live forever in Hell. The Christian has accepted Jesus as Saviour—to live forever in Heaven. With Christ as Saviour His desires have changed. Where once they were selfish and self centered, now they are selfless and Christ Centered.

Has your desired change? If not GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH TODAY! Learn what this scripture is talking about:”Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
