A Sermon Sequel
(An additional thought from the morning message)
Yesterday, as a brother was leaving, he said to me, "So I should go home, rest, catch up on my Bible reading, read a good Christian book, spend some extra time in prayer, invite a Christian family in for fellowship, and plan on returning for the evening service!" Wow, it left me almost breathless, I said to him, "Why not?" They are certainly good things to do, would bring blessing, but don't do them because I said this is how to observe your Lord's Day, do them to achieve the most out of the day the Lord has made.
Isn't this what we should do with the things God has allowed us to do? We should find ways to do what God has asked us to do to the max. It will only increase His blessing on us and glorify Him all the more.
Let's put plenty in our passion as we obey His Word. (Ecclesiastes 9:10; Colossians 3:23)
Pastor Thomas
We are all so busy and I sometimes we think we "owe" ourselves a day,or at least I do anyway, but it is so true. This is the Lord's day, one day out of the whole week! We truly receive the blessing when we reach out to others, read His word, pray.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sequel!
