Sunday Service to God

We go to church as a family on Sundays and the children and I go on Wednesdays if hubby has to mow. If hubby doesn't, then sometimes he will go on Wednesdays too. Now going to church doesn't save a person. Only through Jesus Christ can one be saved. But going to church does hold us accountable and help us in our daily walk with Him.

I have heard many people's excuses not to attend church regularly. There isn't enough time is the number one that I hear. You have 24 hours a day, and seven days every week. That is 168 hours every week that you have. I don't understand how a person cannot find just a couple of those 168 hours to spend in God's house.

Then comes the other excuse "I can worship God wherever I am. There is no need for me to do it in a church." True, you can worship God wherever you are. But in God's word he says that it is good to come to the house of the Lord. It is good to be a part of the body of Christ. You need to have those brothers and sisters in Christ that will stand with you and help you through your daily walk with Him. If nothing else attending church on a regular basis holds you accountable. It keeps you on track. How else are going to sit under the preachings and teachings of God's elders?

And of course there is the "I don't believe in organized religion". Who's talking about religion here? Find a church home where you feel comfortable. Make sure that the church is a Bible believing church. Make sure that the pastor of the church is a gentleman who truly knows the Bible and studies it and when you sit underneath his teachings, you can feel the spirt of God speaking to you.

There are many other excuses for not attending church on a regular basis. I just hope that whatever your excuse is, that you reach into God's Word and find out what He says about it. And then do His will concerning church attendance in your life.

Once you start attending on a regular basis you will find that it is easier and easier to make it a part of your life. Before you know it you will just go and not even think twice about it. And then one day when you are ill or cannot make it to the service you will be so upset because you will just know that there is a blessing you are missing out on!
