My mind has always searched for the answer on why do so many people look at church as a unnecessary pastime activity. People go when they want to and use simple excuses like being tired or spending the day at the park or honestly not feeling like it for reasons not to. I am talking about people who claim to Christian and believe and love Jesus Christ. Yes, I do understand if you are extremely tired because you dealt with a fussy baby all night or you don’t feel well. How does God look at us when we use these excuses not to gather in His congregation? I mean, each and every day, for five days straight, we wake up early in the morning to punch a clock. We go to work for eight hours, or at least four, serving for a man’s company, but we can’t get up (for morning or afternoon) church service. Wasn’t it God who blessed us with the job? Why can’t we come into His gates with thanksgiving? If we partied too hard the night before we still drag ourselves into work for that little paycheck we get every two weeks, but for God we can’t call it an early night. Is congregating with your fellow brothers and sisters and learning good, solid doctrine not important for the soul to live in accordance with God? I guess the real question is, do we i even care about being in accordance with God? Today, we are guilty of being caught up in worldly issues and not making Jesus the Lord of our lives. Getting paid a few dollars an hour is more of a priority than pleasing God and keeping ourselves from eternal death. We need to at a look at ourselves and reevaluate our lives. Examine how we live verses how we ought to live. I just hate thinking about all the souls that will die and are dying because we treat church and God’s work like a unnecessary pastime activity.
