| God Spot This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome! |

Monday, August 08, 2005 Going to ChurchWhy can't active faith be "oh, yes I believe but I never bother to go to church"? There's lots of folks thinking they are get'n into the New Jerusalem through willful acts of disobedience to God's revealed will, so why can't they get in if they don't go to church?Going or not going to Church will not make any difference in entering heaven. The importance is that we acknowledge that Christ is the Messiah and accept Him into our lives. BUT going to church I believe is important in our Christian walk. The Scriptures encourage us to meet together and read and study the Word. We are not to be isolated in our Christian faith. If we isolate ourselves, then we will find ourselves becoming 'luke warm'. We need Christian fellowship, we need to be accountable to other Christians, we need to discuss, listen, learn and grow. "living rightly in a pagan world" We are to be witnesses to those around us. In our actions, words and daily living. Culture can play a huge part in this. I was brought up not to drink alchohol. I know true believing Christians who see nothing wrong with it. I was brought up never to wear slacks (I wear jeans alot now-a-days), and there were many other 'regulations' that I had to live by. But - are these things important? I don't really know. I do know that we are not to be a stumbling block in anyones path (2 Cor 6:3), so I guess we have to work it out before the Lord what we are meant to do. I think that I can be the biggest 'stumbling block' of all. # posted by shellymac @ 8:10 pm 0 comments
