At least you have a mind to go.... This is my second Sunday "skipping".... my excuse is that I'm studying, which I am.... However, I seem to be getting more and more jaded with church.... not just my church, just church in particular, which is CRAZY because I been going to church since I was a fetus.... esp. on Sunday morning....
I used to be excited about church but lately...esp. going to school all this time.... I guess what the old saints said is true: all that book learnin' will make you want to leave church, or something like that....
I read this and can completely understand what you are saying. I believe the people of God are tired of the same ole thing....'sick and tired of being sick and tired'!!!
The first church had their share of this as well and I think that is what led to people going in another direction. I'm sure Apostle Paul and the other leaders of that day wondered what in the world was going on.
satan is a liar and he is the father of lies. If he can get us to not have that "fire" we once had with the Lord, he will do it and if he succeeds, he will try to take us out! The enemy comes only but to kill, steal and to destroy.
May we re-kindle the fire that was started in us and may we recognize what comes to distingish that fire and put a stop to it, in the Name of Jesus.
I pray that the Holy Spirit will begin to Fan the Flame that has been in us that we may ignite those areas of our soul that has been slowly going out and that those around us will experience the fire that is within us.
