Tu, Jan 8 "Day of Praise"
"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." - Acts 2:42
Life is so good in the Body of Christ, which is also known as the Fellowship of Believers, the Communion of Saints, and the Church.
Most of you know that I'm a pastor. But three of the last four nights, I've been at church gatherings, not because I'm a pastor, but because life is so good in the Body of Christ.
Friday was Joy leading the Asperger Parents outreach. Sunday was Linda leading a Wellness Night. Monday was Laura hosting a College Football Fellowship.
My two youngest kids were happily at a combination of The Pulse youth event with Pr Scott on Friday, the Wellness Night on Sunday, and hanging out with some church youth on Monday.
I tell you all this because there are hundreds of you who read this devotion, but not all of you are enjoying all that's available to you in the Fellowship of Believers.
I realize that hurtful or disappointing things happened to many of you in a church, but there are so many more positives available for you going forward than there are negatives behind you.
Besides, the Everlasting and Eternal Heaven is going to have other believers in it, so you might as well start to enjoy it now!
Get involved in a church. And if you are involved, get more involved and/or invite others to get involved.
Because life is so good in the Body of Christ. So good! That's why in days of old "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" (Acts 2:42).
Praise God!
Pastor Chris
"The gospel is the story of Jesus [what God's only Son has done for us that we can't do for ourselves], spoken as a promise." - Robert Jenson
