Take Time for Church in a Busy World
Greetings in Christ!
The Bible tells us in Hebrews 10:25 – 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
This scripture almost seems to be more difficult in this day we live as we seem to be busier than ever! I’ve often thought it would be wonderful if somehow we had an “eighth day of the week,” but sadly, we would find ways to fill that up as well.
As the Pastor of Bethany Grace Community Church, I wanted to take this opportunity to send this letter of encouragement to be faithful to church. I believe this is possible even in the face of all the demands the world places on us.
If there’s anything the enemy of our souls would like to do, it is to keep us too busy to have time for God. Also, he would do his best to keep us from gathering with other believers in Worship together. When I read that scripture, it doesn’t encourage us to attend church “less,” but more!
We need each other! The faith of the truly believing Christian is being attacked as never before. There is indeed strength in numbers. Someone has rightfully commented that we are “better together.” I know that seems quite apparent, but for the church to make an impact on our communities, we must do so in a unified way!
I would encourage you to be like Joshua of old when he said these words in Joshua 24:15b – “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
Let’s come together like never before! Let’s develop the excellent habit of faithfulness to God’s house!
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor Rob Weinstein
