“CHRISTIAN NATION,” WHERE ARE YOU?
In Matthew
12:34 (KJV) the Bible reads
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being
evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.
Today, I
placed this post on Facebook. “It's sad that in a "Christian Nation"
so many of you will sit at home sleep or go your way Sunday morning. We at
Union Grove COGOP continue to keep the doors open and the fires burning because
someday soon Jesus is going to return. It won’t be long until you will want a
church and we are ready to receive you and worship the King. Why not lay up
treasures in heaven with us today and worship with us. Build your rewards for
the day he returns.”
Sunday
School 10 AM
Morning
Worship 11AM
This is my
heart and I speak it with love and a desire to find all Christians assembling
themselves together in the house of God to worship HIM.
Folks, we
talk about it, we sing about it, we look for it but down deep in our heart are
we doing what he commanded us to do before he returns. You can make all the
excuses you want and stand empty handed before the Lord like the virgins with
no oil in their lamps. Our commission is to reach out to a lost and dying world
with his love.
Sitting at
home will not cut it. Well, I’ll never go there as long as Sister so and so is
there. Well, I don’t like the pastor. Uh! I don’t like the way they sing. Or, I
got hurt and I was done wrong.
What is
wrong with you? It breaks my heart to see all the people I love forsake the
house of God with such petty excuses. I say to you, Jesus is coming, and I ask
where you are on Sunday Morning or any time the doors are open at the house of
God.
Yes, I am
speaking from my heart, I love you, God loves you, you need us and we need you.
It is a blessing to fellowship in God’s house and receive of the Lord.
I’m going to
share a story that took place sometime in 1967 at Cat Lai Viet Nam. I was not
going to chapel because of my lack of faith in the Chaplain assigned to our
unit. I would go down to my shack in the motor pool down by the river and read
my Bible and pray.
One morning
I was so hungry for the word and fellowship I went to chapel service anyway. As
I walked in the same man that I had lost confidence in because of the life he
lived before us stood and began to read the word of God. As he read tears came
to my eyes as my heart was touched by God’s word. I was convicted of my failing
to come to service and ask God to forgive me. Did the Chaplain change? No, I
changed as the word of God penetrated my heart.
I never
missed another service. You see it wasn’t the man it was God that I needed and
gladly received.
So where are
you Christian? How are you going to share Jesus if you are not setting an
example to those who trust you? Souls are dying, men are crying for the want of
someone to bring them to the Lord.
I look
forward to seeing you Sunday morning.
REMEMBER
“If we confess our sins he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
