Give me a J - E - S - U - S!
It's Friday and most people where I live are getting ready for the big football game "Battle of the Big Sandy". The rival between neighboring towns can be seen all over during football season. The amount of energy and effort put into these games are enormous. The creativity of fans to show their support is a display of many delights and some not so good taste.
In thinking about this I saw on Facebook this morning many spirited posts designed to pump up the crowd - the fans. Why is it we see little if no spirited posts to pump up Christians that SUNDAY IS COMING? I am just pondering here so indulge me. People get so excited about the games whether it be football, baseball, basketball or yes even my beloved Nascar. But so few get excited about SUNDAY COMING!
So come on JESUS fans! Get excited go tell everybody that SUNDAY IS COMING! This sunday morning bless your pastor's socks off and attend church and sit in the cheering section with a big smile on your face and excitement in your heart. Sing with a loud voice as hearts are won and lives are changed with a touchdown for JESUS!
"I was excited when they said, let us go into the house of the Lord" Psalm 122:1
And when you get there rush in as you do the ballgames and concerts to grab the closest seat to the front!
GO----JESUS!
Here's my two cents for what it's worth Wanda. I think the reason we don't get excited and tell everyone about Sunday is that then we will have to look at our behavior for the rest of the week. I don't believe in Christianity that is lived out only once a week and only for an our or so anyway. If we truly lived for Jesus everyday, we would have no problem jumping for Joy for Sunday, because then we'd have nothing to hide.
ReplyDeleteI also think there are some churches out there that are so judgemental about people that don't go to church and to me, that's just as bad. Going to church isn't what makes us a Christian. It's about corporate worship with fellow brothers and sisters which I believe is very important.
So, I'm not disagreeing with you, just giving you some other points of views. :)
Get excited go tell everybody that SUNDAY IS COMING!
Hey Alexis - I agree totally with what you have shared. I too do not feel that a church house makes us Christians but it is where most meet to fellowship. I was addressing those who do go weekly to a church house or place. Being a Christian is so much more deep than just attending a service somewhere. It's all about relationship. I was speaking in general to those that will attend say this Sunday. Get all excited REJOICE! Does that make sense? Thanks for your input it's always welcomed and coveted.
