Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:4
First let me say going into a church does not make you into a Christian anymore than going into McDonalds makes you into a hamburger. One of the Ten Commandments is to “remember the Sabbath Day and to keep it Holy” and from my perspective I would say that does mean probably making a point to have Christian fellowship. The act of going alone won’t save you, but you should desire it if you love the Lord.Today’s verse talks about being ready as you never know when the Lord will return as he promised He would and He indeed will. Do you know for a fact you would be in heaven with Jesus? I mean you could be sitting in your local coffee establishment and poof, the Lord returns. You don’t want to be those left behind for certain.“Believe in the Lord and you shall be saved” it says in Romans 10:9, period. So if you do believe in the Lord then there you have it, but shouldn’t you want to get to know him better once you believe in Him?We are not supposed to neglect assembling together it says in Hebrews 10:25. The world will certainly captivate you if you choose to let it and the modern culture spreads many lies. Fathers are required to “raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” it says in Ephesians 6:4. So don’t neglect getting to know God better by reading the Bible daily. It is through the word you can combat the devil’s worldly agenda.PRAYER: Father I pray for those reading who may have family members who have left their first love and seemingly care nothing about growing in the Lord. I pray for you to awaken those who sleep before the devil takes them captive. In Jesus’ name. Amen.Click link below to listen to a song of worship:
Becky: I had a friend who told the story that her husband, then unsaved, wanted her to go see a movie that she knew was not what Jesus wanted her to see. She told him that she didn't want to see any movie that was not what Jesus wanted to see because He could come again while she was watching one. We should be cautious of where we go, what we say, and what we think.
