I am writing this early Sunday morning. In a few minutes I will be getting ready to go to church. Just as I do every Sunday. I suppose I could try to live a Christian life without going to church. Many folks do that. But it wouldn’t work for me. I need to be with people who believe as I do, and who are openly vocal about it. I need to hear their prayer requests to help me realize how truly blessed I am.
I need to hear a preacher clarify spiritual questions for me. I need to be made aware of opportunities to serve others that exist all around me. I need smiles and friendly greetings, and to feel I am a part of something greater than myself. I need uplifting song, and the feel of an auditorium of people around me united for one cause. I need my spiritual battery recharged.
It’s Sunday. I’m going to church. I belong there.
No man is an island, we must have friendships and Christ in our life.
Ken, that is sooo me. My church family is my family. Spiritually, physically, emotionally, and any other way I need people to be. God is my Father and you all are my brothers and sisters…. Family. Sandy Oberg
So glad you feel that way Sandy.
I’m glad we’re the kind of church where I can be myself, warts and all and still find love and encouragement. Thanks, Ken for expressing how I feel.
As the song says, “I want to go to church.” Toni Sproull
Amen Toni.
