Might not seem like it, but did you know that sports-attendance worldwide isn't even two percent of church attendance! It's true. Perhaps you think, Who even cares?
Okay so many of the people in churches are lost and many church leaders are also lost.. not carrying anyone else's burden, not doing biblical principles n precepts, or even reading the Bible–God's word. Not encouraging anyone and so SO many are discouraged. I pray many will soon. Hey, if God can save me, He can save anyone.
God was here, came got slaughtered by religious folk and others like ISIS keeps doing, but Jesus physically rose again and ascended. And he only left one thing behind–a church. It wasn't an NFL team, a taco stand, a Law firm, a social network or any other organization. A nation, a people, and a church–they need biblical revival, an awakening that's real. It can happen again! Families need a godly dad around, they need a healthy church, a Bible.. open and applied, a good direction. Yes, cuz they need Jesus Christ the most! Yes, far more than any politician.
Put it all into perspective. See the big picture. Get involved with the construction crew instead of the demolition team–they've been so busy and lame-relentless. If we are passive what will our children inherit other than our nation's YUGE debt?
We have a task to do and are runnin' out of time to do it. It's time to be it, live it, read about it in the Bible. It's time to roll up our sleeves and go. We have a world to reach and Jesus said go tell.
"Later as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." Mark 16:14-16
King David encouraged himself in the Lord and we can do that too. But in Christ and His church, everyone of us are to be interdependent–we need the edification that God can and does give through any other one in the Church. I love God's people–we must be emissaries of encouragement.
BTW: I pray your day is blessed. Jesus loves you.
