The Importance Of Being In A Church

-
TELL EVERYONE TODAY THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IN CHURCH READ THE OPENING SCRIPTURE AND TAKE THE PRAYER FROM YOUR ROR FOR TODAY While growing up, your parents might have taught you certain values to make you a decent and successful person. Some other kids who weren’t taught the same probably ended up wild. That’s how it works spiritually too; you have to be nurtured in the things of the spirit to become that man or woman God predestined you to be. That’s what the local church is for, and that’s why it’s very important for every Christian to belong to, and function effectively, in a local Church. In Hebrews 10:25 the Lord expressed displeasure at those who don’t take attending church services seriously, and warned others against imitating their ways: “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.” Some Christians say, “Well, every Sunday I go to whichever church I choose.” That’s like a child that goes to any house at night-time and asks, “Can I sleep here tonight?” Imagine the kind of life he’s going to live! That’s the way some people are spiritually. They hop in for Sunday service, and then decide to hop into another church the following Sunday. That’s wrong. Some others don’t go to church at all, but rather stay at home to watch one preacher after the other on television. So they say, “I have many pastors; I watch them on TV.” A pastor can teach you on TV, but he can’t pastor you on TV. There’s so much to gain by belonging to a church. There, you’ll be strengthened through the Word of God and through the ministration of the Spirit. This won’t happen if you hop from one church to another, or merely watch sermons on television. At best, you’ll have a lot of information, but you wouldn’t have made much spiritual progress; you won’t be grounded in the truth, for the Church is the ground and pillar of truth (1 Timothy 3:15). In the Church, you’re taught God’s Word, which enables you to deal wisely in the affairs of life, whilst being positioned for limitless possibilities and endless victories. HAVE AN AWESOME DAY GOD BLESS YOU

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
