Just like you........

Good morning! I just got off work and I am fixing to crash for a while. Trying to tie up some loose ends for the Doe River Youth Retreat. I have been thinking about something and I would like to share it with you. Remember, I usually don't sugar coat things! Do you go to church? What kind of a member are you? Are you a member? If not, Why? Let's dig into some good stuff and get a little deeper.

Bible Verse: Ezekiel 36:27-28 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.

I have heard people say I don't believe in organized religion. Well, I agree I don't like religion myself. But, I love being a part of a body of believers. A small part of that is making a difference for God. Let me ask you this. What if there was a congregation in which every member was just like you. Each one helped and supported every church program just the way you have been doing. Everyone worked as hard and attended the same services and church stuff as you do. The leaders, helpers, and the preachers were all as interested in the church as you are at this time. They put the same emphasis on their recreation, business, and other material stuff that you do. Each member gave to the church as you are giving. Within a year or so, what would this congregation look like....

Guy's, I have to be real with ya. This scares me for the future of the world. There are so many out there that are on the fast track to hell. We are the church. We are the body of believers. Let's take the church to a new level. Let's be difference makers. I pray you have a great day, I love you, and God bless.
