Go for the right reasons! | |
Are you just playing church? There's a huge difference between being religious and being a Christian. Being religious is simply following a certain list of do's and don'ts; usually whenever it is convenient and usually because you have been taught or trained that it is the proper or acceptable way to behave (traditional reasons). But living that way is just playing church. And if you think that pleases God, you're only deceiving yourself. Being a Christian means that everything you do or refrain from doing is because you truly love the Lord and care whether or not you are pleasing to Him. Being a Christian means that you want to be like Christ and serve His purposes. Being a Christian means leaving your selfish, worldly desires behind and staying focused on Jesus, what He wants you to do, and whom He wants you to become. Indeed, there's a world or eternity of difference between being a Christian and just playing church. Don't be deceived and reap eternal destruction [Luke 6:46-49]. Make the decision right now not to merely listen to the word but to also do what it says [be ye a doer], and stop playing church. Go for the right reasons! Ask yourself: why do I go to church? For a social event? To further my business contacts? To satisfy a weekly obligation you feel? Because Grandpa and Grandma did it [traditional reasons; they thought it was right]? Again, ask yourself, am I learning more of God's Word? Am I advancing in understanding of His Word? Am I learning the signs of the end times? Am I able to share the true word correctly with others? Only you and God can answer these questions about yourself and your present church! If you are not learning more of God's Word [His truths, John 17:17], perhaps you could be wasting your time. The actual reason you go is very important. It is so easy to remedy! Start today by studying the whole Bible yourself. Please read and study the following verses: Ecclesiastes 12:13; Isaiah 29:13 [shaky ground to be on]; Hosea 4:1, 6-7, 9-10; Matthew 7:21-23, 21:12-13; Romans 16:17-18 [Christ's doctrine only, avoid other doctrines]; 2 John 1:9-11 [Again, Christ's doctrine only]. Supplement what you may hear in church by learning directly from God's word through study on your own. You certainly don't have anything to lose by studying on your own, whether you attend a physical, human built church now or not. You will be truly amazed by what is actually in the Bible.  | |
