or maybe i should ask how often one should go to church?
today i was feeling a little down due to stuff going on in my life and i skipped church service. i sort of felt bad and then i remembered going through this a while ago and thought maybe i should write it down so that i will never forget to encourage me and for you guys as well.
Anyways i always love the line that my pastor always says.. its goes along the lines of : your not coming to church as a duty, or a ritual or its what your parents did or you have been doing for years; you come to church to give Glory to the Creator... should be viewed as a "privilege". How awesome is that? have you ever seen chruch as a privilege? Like YOU get to come to church. See its all about the mindset i believe. We see things the way we want to see and if you can change your perspective, life becomes so much more awesome.
Hebrews: 10:21-25
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
He knew that people would sometimes give up on meeting together, and he wanted us to stay encouraged and you want to have christian friends who will encourage you and keep you going.
Also you should remember, we dont have to go to church to worship him. He died on the cross for us to directly access God anytime any day. All we need to do is just pray and read his word and get direct access to the Lord.
Also so is there a need for church if we can access God at home? or anywhere else. Dont look down on the power of the church. A good church can help uplift us in more ways than one. I always remember this one promise in the bible
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them Mathew 18:20
cool right? You know God is guaranteed to be there when 2 or more say his name or pray together. Which is awesome and a self note to go to church more often.
Hope i encouraged you today and hopefully i stick to my own blogs and ask forgiveness for my setbacks and keep looking forward.
God bless.
