About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

DO YOU ENJOY GOING TO CHURCH?
DO YOU ENJOY GOING TO CHURCH?
I AM GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT ME THAT I AM NOT AT ALL PROUD OF. SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETIME BACK, WHEN I WOULD GO TO CHURCH, I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF THERE. I HAD THINGS TO DO LIKE GOING FISHING OR GETTING READY FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME OR JUST ANYTHING. IF SOMEONE ASKED ME WHAT WAS PREACHED, THERE IS NO WAY I COULD HAVE TOLD THEM. THAT WAS TERRIBLE.
AFTER I GOT MYSELF STRAIGHT ON THIS, I WONDERED IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM. SO, I ASK DIFFERENT PEOPLE IF THEY COULD TELL ME WHAT THE SERMON WAS ABOUT AT CHURCH LAST SUNDAY. A LOT OF THEM WERE LIKE ME AND COULDN'T REMEMBER. WHEN I ASKED WHAT WAS THE MATTER, I GOT A SURPRISE. MOST OF THEM DIDN'T HAVE MY PROBLEM BUT SAID THE PREACHER WAS BORING. MY QUESTION WAS, WHY WOULD YOU STAY IN A CHURCH THAT WAS BORING? IF ANY OF THIS RELATES TO YOU, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
MY PROBLEM WAS NOT THAT THE PREACHER WAS BORING, I WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO KNOW WHETHER HE WAS BORING OR NOT. I STARTED FOLLOW EVERY VERSE OF SCRIPTURE HE WOULD READ, MAKE NOTES ON THINGS I HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT AND STUDIED MY BIBLE UNTIL I FOUND THE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS. I STARTED HAVING FUN IN CHURCH AND THEN IT WAS NOT WANTING TO GET HOME TO WATCH A FOOTBALL GAME, IT WAS WANTING TO GET HOME SO I COULD START STUDYING MY BIBLE. THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALL ALONG. AS MUCH AS JESUS HAD DONE FOR ME, WHY COULDN'T I GIVE HIM A FEW HOURS. PRAISE GOD THAT I LEARNED A LOT IN THOSE YEARS BECAUSE IT IS HELPING ME IN MY MORNING MESSAGES TODAY.
WE SHOULD ALL BE DOING THIS, IF FOR NO OTHER REASON BUT TO MAKE SURE THE PREACHER IS TEACHING THE WORD. THE BIBLE WARNS US ABOUT FALSE TEACHERS. BE CAREFUL THOUGH, NOT TO JUST TRY TO CATCH HIM IN SOME KIND OF MISTAKE. I KNOW PEOPLE LIKE THIS. THEY THINK IT MAKES THEM LOOK GOOD TO CATCH A PREACHER IN A MISTAKE. THEY WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THEY REALLY KNOW THE BIBLE. IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THE BIBLE BUT NOT TO USE IT AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS. SOMETIMES PREACHERS AND TEACHERS GET A CHAPTER OR VERSE WRONG STRICTLY BY MISTAKE. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF WHAT WE THINK OR SAY.
SO, IF YOU DID HAVE A GOOD TIME AT CHURCH THIS WEEK, GO OVER WHAT WAS PREACHED AND SEE IF IT DOES LINE UP WITH THE BIBLE. THIS LETS YOU KNOW HE WAS RIGHT OR WRONG BUT ALSO KEEPS YOU IN THE WORD. ONCE YOU START DOING THIS, I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND IT VERY INTERESTING AND REWARDING. IN THE BIBLE IS A FUN PLACE TO BE AND IT IS A TRIP YOU CAN TAKE ANY TIME YOU WANT TO. AND, IT DOESN'T COST YOU ANY MONEY. HOW GREAT IS THAT.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
