At Church

"For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good." (Psalm 122:9) What is your attitude when you come to church? People come to church with various motives and goals. Some look at coming to church as being apart of a social club, and they look for that opportunity to climb that social ladder. Others look at coming to church as a way to show off what they have, and to contend for power and prestige. Others come to be entertained, by the programs, and the people participating in those programs.
 *"How the people loved Jerusalem! it was a holy place because the temple was there, an honored place because David's throne was there, and a happy place because the tribes were there to celebrate the greatness and goodness of God. (*Warren Wiersbe - With The Word Devotional Commentary - Psalm 122) The church is not the building, but the people of God. We come together first and foremost to worship God. And how we act at church is very important. When we come together, in our actions, we are to fulfill the two greatest commandments. To love God, and to love others.(Matthew 22:34-40) May it be seen that our love for God is not just giving lip service, but is sincere. And may our concern for each other, in this time of worship and fellowship, be sincere as well. We are the family of God. And family members are to love and support each other, as we take on the work that the Lord has called us to do. (Matthew 28:18-20) May we all say with love and humility: "I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the Lord," (Psalm 122:1) GP
