Don't Waste Your Church
Any time you talk to a friend, family member, acquaintance, etc, about going to church, you are likely to get a lot of uncomfortable excuses and you might get several adamantly “no” responses. You might even be talking to an ex-churchgoer who has stopped attending church, again for a variety of reasons. Over the last decade, there’s been an uprising against the church, church attendance, and people who go to church. But if we do even a cursory look at the New Testament we see that the church/Church is not an optional accessory to the committed Christian’s life. The church/Church is the Bride of Christ, is the object of God’s loving actions, and is the vehicle for change and salvation in a broken world. Wherever you are and wherever you attend church; if you live near a church, have been invited and have never been; if you used to go to church and have quit for some reason- Don’t Waste Your Church! Take full advantage of all of the benefits and opportunities of a great church near you!
