Church-Your Boot Camp

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant ,is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Hebrews 5:11-14 

 

In the military you go through rigorous training most commonly known as boot camp. Here you face all sorts of scenarios to prepare you for the possibility of combat. Training is essential to survive. 

In your spiritual life your church experience should be your boot camp and not a fluffy feel good punch my Sunday attendance card sort of thing. In this ‘training center’ you should be preparing for spiritual warfare and learn the Bible in order to quote powerful scriptures to protect you from Satan’s attacks. 

Going to church is fine but you need to be going where you are armed for battle against Satan. Singing, visiting , drinking coffee all fine but make sure you are planted where you grow in Christ and where the Bible is being taught and the opportunity to accept Christ and repent is given. 

PRAYER: Give me strength each day Lord to trample on evil and recognize it. I pray for those I know and love to desire being saved. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
