The House of the Lord

Psalm 122:1

I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

 

Let Us Go into the House of the Lord

 Why do we go to Church? Do we have to go to Church or can I just have church alone at home? Can it be just me and Jesus?

The answer is you could but it would not be pleasing God nor would it be good for you and others, unless for some reason isn't possible for you to attend, then the church needs to come to you.

The thing about the church is it is a body.

And while you might want go out without your Knee (and trust me there are days I wish I could) it would not be a good or the best thing for you.Actually separation from my knee would be permanent. It is the same in the body of Christ. The thought " I don't have to go to church" is an extremely selfish even arrogant thought and we should stop the thought before it goes anywhere. If you make the choice once to stay away it will become easier and easier to stay away.

Jesus died for you and unless we have a place to bring people to hear the Word of God to lead them to salvation they will remain lost. People in the Body Of Christ need prayer, they need someone to listen to them and some people in church want to listen to, pray for enjoy your company.

Church is only Great if you Bring the Holy Spirit and Jesus with you.

If you believe the Bible you believe that Jesus the Christ was crucified, died conquered death and the grave and rose again so that we could be saved and have eternal life.  If we don't accept Jesus then we have eternity in the great abyss separated forever from God, maybe even Hell.  Why would anyone that believed that not want to be part of what His death did for us to lead others encourage others to bless others and to help others stay strong. 

 The Church is called the storehouse because it is the place where the gifts and ministries of the body are to use for you and for others.

 So if you're the hand 

how can the body raise it if it's still in bed?

If you have stopped going or have never started going to church start.  Find a church that is moving forward with God.  Forget finding one you are comfortable in because we need a little discomfort to help us change. We need a little friction to polish us into diamonds.  Instead find on who's messages you have to listen carefully to because they are from God and you need to change.

 You are a diamond in the rough

Don't go to Church because the pastor is such an amazing speaker or because you are comfortable with his messages but rather because his sermons are from God and like a double edged sword that cuts deep to weed out bad seeds in you and gives room for the Good seeds to grow. 

When you go to Church grab those by the byway the highway the low road or just next door and bring others.  Be a working part of the body!

So pray for the Church and pray before Church and get ready for what God has for you today.

AND BE SURE TO BRING TOGETHER ALL THE BODY PARTS
