If
the church is here to teach the word of God; come expecting to be taught and to
learn! God wants to communicate with you.
Pray that God would communicate with you. Ask him to help your heart and mind
be open. Ask him to help you understand. Pray that God will clearly communicate
with everyone else as well.
If the church is here to help people
belong…Come and be the first one with a smile and a warm greeting. Take time to
get to know the people in the church. Talk to them here; and spend time with
them away from here.
If the church is a place to worship God;
come and set the example for people around you. People are watching you whether
you like it or not. Some people come and stand in church and their whole attitude
during worship screams the title of the hymn I SHALL NOT BE MOVED! You, as an individual, are important to the
atmosphere of worship in our church. It doesn’t matter if you are outwardly
expressive or more reserved. The issue is that you take advantage of the
opportunity to worship God with sincere expression, and with other people who
love him too.
IF the church is a place for prayer; take
the chance to pray and have your faith encouraged by a group of people who
gather in a place dedicated to providing an atmosphere in which you can freely
communicate with God. Take the time to pray for yourself, your family and the
other people who are around you. Perhaps you could help set the tone by praying
at the beginning of each service for God’s blessings and His will to be done in
the service.
If the church is a place for ministry;
come, and get involved. There are many, many areas of ministry in which your
gifts and talents can be used!
