We Need The Power of God In Church!

There was “excitement” at church.  Many were invited!

The type of entertainment they had. 

Had already been decided!

There was something that would

 “stir up” the newest fashion.

The pastor said to do this with a “compelling passion.”

There was included loud instruments and a guitar.

They figured this would bring in people from afar!

Of course they wanted to charge for “admission.”

Why not?  This would “fulfill” their earthly mission!

This seems to be the way many churches are going…

The power of God they seem to be “avoiding.”

Rather than seeking God’s holiness

and forgiveness of sins…

They look to what can self-gratify within!

Are we here to seek a worldly kind of “entertainment.”

Or to seek the presence of God this very moment!

It comes from spending time in seeking HIM in prayer.

Wherever we are…  He‘s God! 

And is always there!

If it’s “excitement” church gives...  We’re  in the “wrong place!”

We’re simply here as a sinner saved by God’s grace!

Our “thrill” is in Jesus Christ.  And him alone!

He brings peace and joy to us and our home!

Jesus brings to all what money can’t afford!

He’s our provider, comforter, and Lord!
