Reason #19 why going
to church this Sunday is the best plan:
BECAUSE A GROUP OF DIVERSE PEOPLE PRAISING GOD IN UNITY SHOWS GOD’S
POWER. We live in turbulent times filled
with division, accusations and hurtful rhetoric. The news is so filled with protests, hate and
arguing that it’s defeating just to turn on the TV or read online news
articles. People are looking for something different! People are looking for unity and cooperation
and a place of belonging. The gathering
of God’s people has always been just that.
We gather together around the most important purpose of all:
WORSHIP. We worship the one true,
almighty God… TOGETHER. Psalm 22:22
says, “I will tell of Your name to my
brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.” Psalm 35:18 says, “I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people
I will praise you.” John Piper
writes, “Therefore, when human beings with diverse ethnicities, backgrounds,
tastes, expectations, desires, priorities, peeves, admirations, and needs join
their hearts and minds and voices and actions in unified worship of the one
true God through Jesus Christ, a reality has come into the world that is
beautifully fitting – it befits the
power and the worth of God, whose glory can win such humble, self-forgetting
praises from a diverse people.” “How good and pleasant it is when brothers
live together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1)
