A Day In The Life: church was great - let's not talk about it

church was great - let's not talk about it

I posted this on my bible study group's blog and I wanted to post it here too so that I can come back and read it again and again.

I just came across a great article - at least for me. As soon as church is over, I head out the door and back to my house, hoping no one will speak to me. How wrong is that?!?

Here's the link to the article:

Here's the opening statement of the article:

"We've just heard the Word read and proclaimed, sung the praises of our great God, and petitioned him for mercy in our time of need. And then we spend our time afterward talking about last night's movie, the game, the hobby, the state of the nation, or whatever. Anything but the great truths of the gospel we've just heard and by which we're saved. Why do we do this?"

Prayer List

Thank you Father thank you.
Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
God please guide the leaders of the world.
God please heal my children.
Please heal those that have asked for prayer.
