Our faithfulness to the church is paramount. It is not our church. We should love it and want to take care of it for God. He has put every one of us in a church because our gifts can be used there. When you miss a Sunday your gifts are not utilized and someone is not getting ministered to . When you miss a practice for praise team or drama ministry you essentially say you don’t care about the people that are involved or the church as a whole because your time is more important than they are.
I think for me this has hit home over the last year. I have seen so many people step up to do things like; plan visitor connection times or step out of their comfort zone and teach a class that when I see people just snub their nose at the church because they are tired that Sunday it really get’s to me.
Love the Lord your God with your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Think about that the next time it is to hard to get out of bed on Sunday or maybe when you figure out you have committed yourself to so many things outside the church you can’t give any time to God.
