Why have we gotten so lazy that we think if we go to church once a week we have done God a favor? What if you had a pre-set meeting with Jesus Christ and you did not show up? How rude, inconsiderate and silly would that be? Definitely not a good idea to stand up the One who keeps all your molecules held together. Yet we leave Him standing alone in the sanctuary every week. To clarify what I am about to say, I need to quote an old preacher by the name of Garney Bell. He was a revivalist when I first started in the ministry. Brother Bell would say “Some people say they are saved but in reality they are only salved (He pronounced this saaved with a short a)-they just got a little rubbed on them in an emotional meeting. Saved people are going to heaven, Salved people are going to hell.” We have too many people in all of our churches today that can’t stick it out. Even Jesus said “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.” Why am I being so harsh? I am tired of people that want to play the game of Christianity that do not know the Lord of Christianity, that have selfish ambitions and agendas. I am also excited because God has brought some folks into our church that don’t see coming to church more than once a week as a negative and are committed to working until Jesus comes. Bottom line-go to church! As many times as you can, every week, even every day.
Hebrews 10:25 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
