what is important

I truly don’t understand why people think that they don’t need to be part of a church. Especially here in the United States where we have every flavor of worship that there could be. All a person would need to do is go from one church to another until they found a church where their spirit is warmed and rejuvenated. 

Instead people stay home, sleep, exercise, read a book, watch tv, or do anything possible instead of worshipping God or encouraging themselves or another human being. 

What do they think Jesus calls His bride?

The church. 

(This should give you an idea of how important gathering together is to Christ.) 

We have every kind of commentary, every kind of Bible. We even have Bible’s that will read themselves to us. All you have to do is listen. No need to tire out your itty bitty eyes.

Yet, people avoid learning about someone they say they identify with. They call themselves Christian but avoid Christ. 

At my work we have a Bible study that meets once a week. Someone comes from outside of our workplace to talk with us. Yet, people are too busy to come in and sit while they eat their lunch. Sometimes their guilt will get the best of them and they will come in 40 minutes late to assuage their guilt a bit. I felt so sorry for our teacher. It hurts his feelings. He tries to hide it but the last meeting he asked if they were late to their business meetings too. (Knowing full well that they wouldn’t be.) For some reason Christ’s people put Christ last – He is obviously not important. You can see this by their actions.  

This hurts my heart. I can’t imagine what it does to Christ.

You people don't know what you are missing.
