Where Is Your Church?

LEN'S LINES ---- A Little Religion On A Positive Note By Len Granger

Where Is Your Church?

A while ago, I was speaking with a lady and in the process of our talking I asked her what church she and her husband attended? There was a long pause then she said, " It cost a lot of money to attend church as they always want us to give money and more money. so we quit attending." I was at somewhat of a loss on what to say; "Yes, some churches are more interested in raising money for different projects than serving the Lord's command of reaching out to the unsaved and lost in the world with God's saving Gospel." Maybe we should ask the question, " what does it cost to not attend church?" Is there a price tag on that?

1. It may cost us our kids.

2. It may cost us peace of heart and mind.

3. It may cost us our marriage.

4. It may cost us choices we deeply regret.

Our Bible tells us in Acts 2:27, " Praising God, and having favour with all the people, And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." Speaking out to those around us in a friendly manner, telling them of the saving grace which is offered free by our Lord, is the Great Commission and Lord's last words to His Disciples ended with "A-men." We, today are the Lord's Disciples under the same commandment and if we obey as the Lord's servants our Lord showers us with blessings.

A business lady told me recently that she reads this column each week to her husband and is praying they will start going back to church. Their business is open on Sundays so she is thankful for the weekly story how the Lord has blessed many by answering prayers and is getting people to return to church. Maybe they can find a Christian that attends an early service or a later service that can fill in for them? If Christians want to worship with the Church Family, the Lord will provide a way.

I have been praying about all those Christians that over the years have changed their way of life and now have an activity that has become their church. It maybe a Sunday football game, a movie, shopping, or a day of rest, that keeps them from worshiping the Lord in His church. They may feel that they now longer need the Lord's guidance and protection. The government is where they look for security and an enjoyable life here on the earth. But that is shortsighted as physical life is so short but our spiritual life with our gracious and loving Lord Jesus Christ is for eternity. If we Love the Lord, we want to serve Him and use our "God Given Talents" to help spread the Gospel.

Trust we all be in the church of our choice this Sunday singing and worshiping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
