Re: Sunday Morning Praise

By Glenda Ellsworth

Heb. 10; 24 -25 reads as follows . . And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works. v. 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Now, I believe church attandance is vital to relationship and growth. God ... See Moreis a faithful God therefore, he requires faithfulness in all that we do! Truly, we are the church however, God has willed it so for us to come together as a collective body.

Read I Cor. 12;14-21 . . For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is therefore not of the body?

How can we being one body say to the member, I have no need of thee. Can we walk around on our head? We need one another! We are one body!! We "the chruch" have need of ALL our body parts.

Eph. 4;16 . . From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. How can we accomplish this, if church attendance is not important or required? How can we supply anything within the joints if we are not fitly joined together or available?

It just amazes me sometimes that we can give the world more than we offer God. Our jobs have requirements and we meet those requirements without question but, we feel that God should not ask anything of us outside our comfort zones. No requirements or restrictions? What shall we render unto the Lord for all his benefits? Nothing? Selah!

Praise is an offering to God that anybody can do as long as we live! Psalm 150 declares the instruments will praise, scripture declares in Is. 55; 12 the trees of the fields clap their hands, and . . we as a people can praise as long as we live . . Ps. 150; 6 . . Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord!

God has a purpose for us and in order for us to reach that goal, there has to be guide lines or a road to follow in order for us to obtain it.

The church is not Burger King, we cannot have it our way!

I hope this will help bring clarity to all who reads it!
