We should gather daily to worship….but it doesn't have to be in a local church building. We should be gathering daily to break bread and worship daily in our homes also. So come on down for some breaking of bread and worship of our Mighty God.

In the Words of one of my favorite pastor’s, Pastor Joseph Hughes, who went home to be with the Lord earlier this year…I will sum it up this way; People don’t attend church regularly, because of “Hurts, Habits, and Hang-ups.”
I believe Healing, Acceptance, Forgiveness and Discipline are the cures for Hurts, Habits, and Hang-ups. Personal healing of an individual’s heart, Genuinely being accepted into the body as a family member, Forgiving everyone that has hurt him/her (including themselves), and choosing to make church a priority… putting forth the effort to attend, and be actively involved.

I don’t know what the answer is…I mean, why don’t more people love to come to church, especially to worship? (we know there are those who slip in AFTER praise and worship is– or is almost over! You know who you are!) Sometimes it is hard to settle my mind down and focus on God, but when I do, I’m sure not sorry! Seeking God and THANKING Him ALWAYS aleviates some portion of stress, if not all!

There’s something definately powerful about corporate worship! A great mass of people all lifting up our God at once! All in one accord. It has the power to make city walls crumble! Even the ememy tries to use this power–just think of a worldly rock concert with every fan singing addictive lyrics, raising hands in homage to 4 guys they don’t even know and will be gone on a bus in less than 2 hours.

I hate missing church, it’s been a long time though I will admit, I have missed simply because I was tired or didn’t “feel like it”, BUT– I have LEARNED! You see, EVERY TIME I pulled a stunt like that, I found I missed something profound God had for me, and not very many things on MY schedule could be more important than another chance for God to get through–to improve me, to shape me.

Am I the only one who has experienced this? Perhaps the enemy knows this and tries to keep us away…whispering in our ears, “you deserve to sleep in, you’ve been working hard…”
Whether i’m jumping out of bed on Sunday morning or having to shut the devil down, I’m always thrilled I went to church!

I know that my spiritual week (and my regular week!) goes so much better with a healthy dose of gathering to worship. When I’m not there, I miss the companionship, the fellowship, the sense of community, and the feeling of coming together to praise. I know I need a constant reminder that God is first in my life, and a worship service, or two, really helps with that.

I also find a Bible study to be almost essential. If I don’t immerse myself in it, then I don’t immerse myself in it, if that makes sense. I need the Word, and I also need motivation, like a study group.

As often as possible, but at least once a week. Nothing beats corporte worship on the Lord’s Day.
