I didn’t go to church today and I feel like I missed something. I know I don’t have to go into a building to worship God but there is just something really wonderful about worshipping together with other Christians that I do not like to miss. The feeling of the love in the room is awesome. We are all there together as one to worship our God. We are a mixed group of people all from different backgrounds and different lives but in that church we can see that we are one, when we are there we can see and feel that we are the body of Christ. We are all there with one thing in common. We are His children, we are brothers and sisters united together, sharing the love for our Lord and Savior and we are there to praise Him. It doesn’t matter who we are, where we come from or what we wear. It’s just come as you are because we all belong to Him and He loves us. In life sometimes easy to forget those things and feel divided although He loves us all exactly the same. It does not matter where we are when we worship Him but in the church we can feel our unity as one body, as his body all of us together to worship Him in Our church. I know I did not have to go to a building today to spend time with God, but next week I plan to go to church and worship with my family.
for we are members of his body. Ephesians 5:30
Acts 2:46-47 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Colossians 3:16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts
Thank you for reading and God Bless you 🙂
Very True T, we as the Body of Christ need to worship together but as you said that Body my not be in a Church. I also believe very much in having a balance in the songs we sing as God asks us to do, I have seen much division caused because only one type of music has been focused on exclusively and this is not of God but comes from man’s disobedience and sadly if they are disobedient in this instruction, they will be in other important guidelines. Jesus is the Head of the Body not man and we are to Trust and obey Him, He knows what is needed much more then we do.
Ephesians 5:18-20 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christian Love from both of us – Anne.
