THE BEST TIME TO ATTEND CHURCH!
Heb 10:22-25 KJV
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
It happens with frustrating regularity. Self proclaimed theologians walk away from one local church and into the foyer of another because their personal perception of things has been challenged! Some long held, but wrong, doctrine has been proven to be in error by biblical preaching. Instead of making the appropriate change in their thinking they change to a congregation and a preacher that agrees with or will tolerate their error. As a result they never grow and expand in their knowledge of the truth. Like tiny feet bound in the ancient oriental fashion, they gradually make themselves spiritual cripples and must constantly be carried.
Just as frustrating to watch is the parade of those who abandon God when it would seem they might need him most. Perhaps their financial situation has gone sour and they are embarrassed by financial failure. Instead of running to God they run away. Perhaps their marriage is suffering turmoil but instead of running to God they run away. Many such problems might be relieved by biblical teaching and Christian fellowship but those most hungry refuse to come to the banquet. It is incomprehensible! It flies in the face of all logic!
“The Day” is approaching! That day is the day when the Lord returns to rapture His saints and pour retribution on sinners. Oh yes, that day is at the door (Matt. 24:33). Now is the best time to attend church.
Dear Lord, thank you for the fellowship of the church. AMEN
