Reason #15 why going to church
this Sunday is the best plan: IT WILL HELP YOU THINK ABOUT HEAVEN. We spend a lot of time thinking about the
goings-on of earth; not so much time thinking about God and heaven. The Apostle Paul stated in Colossians 3:2… “Set your minds on things above, not on
earthly things.” There is so much to
worry about these days. We worry about
our jobs and making money. We worry
about what we own, our houses, our clothes, our cars. We spend so much time trying to make all the
earthly stuff work in our lives. And
then we tend to slip by without thinking about God and the things of His realm. And, in fact, all throughout the Bible God
tells us to think more about Him and how our lives fit into His realm, and not
just the earth. We forget that even the
greatest thing on earth will pale in comparison to the lowliest thing in
heaven. The Apostle John said to beware
of this tendency. “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the
world, the love of the Father is not in him… The world and its desires pass
away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John
2:15,17) Let’s come together this
Sunday, not to put our head in the sand and deny the world around us, but
rather to celebrate that in the midst of so much worry and anxiety, we look forward
to a better day in God’s kingdom… AND, that God’s kingdom is coming in and
through our hearts right now.
