Does God Really Care About My Church Attendance?

Does God Really Care About My Church Attendance?

This article doesn't scratch the surface of why some Christians are dissatisfied with church. Contrary to what this article says, you can grow in your relationship with Christ by spending time in prayer & studying God’s word; you don’t need a church body for that. Each Christian is responsible for their own walk with Jesus. Are other believers going to answer for you at Judgment Day? No. Some of the most seasoned Christians have left the church and their relationship with God has increased 10fold because they have more time to dig deeper in God’s word.

Thought For Today: Does Voting Count?

If someone has a good reason for not voting, is it anyone's place to criticize? No. If you've followed current events & politics for any number of years, then you've seen a pattern of the same candidates getting into office. We all know that politicians lie; they talk a lot of hot air about what they're going to do for the people, and when it's time to come through, very few politicians make good on their promises. It's almost surprising to hear about a politician that does what they say they're going to do because people are used to lying politicians. I'm tired of some people saying if you don't vote, you can't complain. Even if you complain, nothing's done because most politicians have THEIR agenda. Some politicians don't care about the people. If the people elect someone into office, that person has a responsibility to the people. The people's agenda comes first, not theirs. Knowing that most politicians are out of touch with regular folks, again I ask....does voting really matter?

Today's Thought: Something For Nothing

Anyone who's lived long enough understands that at times, we (myself included) go through constant trials (whether the trials are of our doing or out of our control) and feel there's no light at the end. This should encourage believers that this will pass. Things must get better, they can't get any worse.

Observe, Not React

Growing Up In Church vs. Growing In Christ

It's easy to grow up in church because all you have to do is show up, do praise & worship and listen to a sermon. Growing in Christ means nurturing your relationship with Him daily: Prayer & reading his word.

Throwback Friday

Dug this out of the archives. It's a good way to view relationships. Would you rather have a fresh vehicle or a used one? There are pros & cons to both.

Today's Thought: Imagine...

Brilliant. How can you fear the ones you've terrorized for centuries? Make this make sense. Are you scared that the victims will have enough of the terror and rise against you? If so, then GOOD. No one should suffer at the hands of their oppressor(s).
