Church Going Has Become Routine

Some of us get up on Sunday morning, put on our best suit, best hat, best shoes and accessories, get to the Church Building to say; I BEEN!  Some of us even wash our vehicle on Saturday so when we park on the Church grounds, people can see how clean and sharp our rides are! Church going has become routine.

We spend countless hour in the mirror though out the week beautifying our outer appearance and on Sunday morning, we make sure we put on and take off the necessary pieces and trimming to look the part that we represent in the Church building like; the wrapping of the head or the dolly in top of the head, the long dresses, some of us have to take off the ear rings because this body of people don't like them so we remove them, covering of the legs, vale over the face, remover of the lipstick, all sorts of things we do to please man because Church going has become routine!

The Deacon on the board had fights all week with his wife, not even speaking and sometimes don't even come home during the week because he's been out with someone else wife but when it's Church time, he walks in proudly with his beloved wife on his arms because Church going has become routine!

The Musicians and Praise Worshipers been hanging out all week long gossiping, player hating, back bidden, sleeping around and then come to Church on Sunday morning ready to Worship in the Spirit with their beautiful voices and wonderful sounds, "What Spirit?", Church going has become routine.  

We are so busy dressing up to please man, we forget about God who knows and sees all. The bible says; "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men. (Isaiah 29:13)

We have it so down pat until when we do go to the Church building for what ever reason a service is being held, we say; I'm going to get a Word from the Lord! Well! What have you done with the Word you have already heard?

We got it all backwards. Living for Christ is a daily life. We spend so much time looking and playing the role in the Church building fear of what man might say, we forget that it is God we serve and He along is the one we should fear! Your outer appearance in God's eye is the last thing he is concern about. "GOD WORKS WITH THE HEARTS OF MAN AND AS WE HEAR AND READ HIS WORD, HE WANTS US TO APPLY IT TO OUR LIVES SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO BARE SPIRITUAL FRUIT AND BE THE PEOPLE HE DIED FOR US TO BE RIGHT HERE ON EARTH AND TO INHERIT INTERNAL LIFE".

God said:  "If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--" (John 14:15-16) This is the Holy Spirit to help us to do what is right.  God knows that we are going to make mistakes, he knows how the flesh operates and all he wants from us is a willing mind/heart to do right and to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (Only the Holy Spirit can make us holy) this is our spiritual act of worship. ***And He Will Do The Rest***

We really need to be real for the Lord and get our house (Our hearts and Mind) in order. Time is winding up! Playing Church is out or you will miss out.  Get your business straight! Bare Spiritual Fruit: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22) Let us work on what matters the most. "Love one for another and obedience to God's Word"
