Attending Church

Here lately it has been on My heart about those who Don't attend Church! Several People, Friends, Family, Lost Souls and just your average every day person you may see! I think to my self, If only they knew What God was all about! His many Blessings he has to offer, Hes Great Works and Will he has planned for each of us! However, Not everyone takes the time to understand all of this or may not be at that point in their Life where they Feel The Holy Spirit working on them! I know Each person has a Season for their own life and At some point God will Do his Work on them! But, I will say, we are not off the hook! We as Christians are called to Minister to those who are lost! We are to Guide them in the Right direction by showing our Love and Thoughtfulness! To do acts of Kindness! To Invite them to Church, To nicely ask them to lunch one day and maybe even pay for it! :), I guess What I'm trying to say is that,We can't just sit around and watch Lost Souls around us just wither away! We are called to be a Light in the Darkness and Share Jesus love for us with others! I strongly Suggest for the Person who may be reading this, that is in Question, Find a Church near By, Go up to it one day and Take the step to walk in the door! I will say this, God's Presence is around and will make him self known to you if you are searching! Church is a Great place to start because you have so many other People around you Serving the Same Lord you are looking for, You are Renewed in his Spirit with Worship, You are bound together by the Love of Christ and Fellowship with others!

Some People may say Church is not for them. It breaks my heart to hear such a thing. If they only knew the many Blessings you get from Church! To name a few. Accountability, Having a friend there to help hold you accountable for the wrong in your life. Revival, To be able to go in after a hectic week and be Revived in His Spirit. I don't mean this as you can go to church on Sunday and live freely again in the weekdays, We are to strive DAILY to be more like him. Love and Support, When you are going through a rough time, God gives you a church family to help you through such a time. People there to show there love for you and concern. Blessings, My Favorite. I love the Blessings that Come from Church, You learn so much from the messages, You make more friends in Christ, you share in Fellowship Gatherings such as, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Out Reach Programs. Watching the little ones get up on Stage and Sing the New Song that they learned in Children's Church. Knowing that my children see other children growing and learning about the Same God they are!. Its so Amazing to me! God Intended Church for us! He wanted us to Go and Be Renewed in him! I will say that Anyone who has not been in a church service where the Holy Spirit is Pouring out over his Congregation. Your missing out on one of the most AMAZING things!!!

I have been praying that God Show me a Sign or Scripture to allow me to see that I am right on the Church and its Goodness it has to offer to those that are lost! He has done just that. In a two week period, The Lord has brought this One Scripture up to me 4 Separate times by 4 Separate people! I finally took the time to sit down open my Bible and Read it for myself! I LOVE IT!!! I'm just amazed at how God Works and Shows he is listening to us who seek after him! Ill share it with you and the meaning it has with it!

Hebrews 10:25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.

The Meaning: (10:25 The reason for Participation in the Local Church)
The ultimate reason that we should participate in a Local Church is because it is specifically commanded by God. Even in NT days there were those who yielded to the temptation of absenting themselves from the worship services of the local church. The writer of Hebrews points out that the members of a local church have an obligation to one another. They are to provoke one another to good works and to exhort one another to live consistent lives worthy of God. This can best be done within the context of a local church; so believers are commanded not to neglect the assembling of themselves together.

I hope that this post has spoken to you in some way or form! God is and Amazing God and has sooooooo much to offer to his people! If you are looking for a church to attend, We would love to have you visit us! I attend Gospel Mission Church in Des Arc Arkansas!

Here are some Scriptures that Spoke to my heart.

GOD CALLS US TO BE BLESSINGS TO OTHERS.
I will cause you to become the father of a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and I will make you a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the Families of the earth will be blessed through you. Genesis 12:2

GATHER IN HIS NAME.
"I also tell you this: if two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together because they are mine, I am there among them." Matthew 18:19-20

FELLOWSHIP TOGETHER IN HIS NAME:
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and sympathetic? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other loving one another and working together with one heart and purpose. Philippians 2:1


I hope this has hit home with someone! God has such great plans for you! Church is a Great place to be to help get them started!
