Scripture of the Day - August 20, 2012

Hebrews 10:24  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.


It's amazing how we in the west will use any excuse to not go to church...too busy, too tired, don't have transportation, only chance to go have fun is Sunday, only chance to clean my house is Sunday, someone in the church hurt my feelings...on and on the excuses go. Meanwhile there are people who walk for miles in scorching heat to get to church, there are people being killed for their faith, they are being gunned down in their churches, I've seen the pictures...but Jesus said you will be hated for my name's sake, and we know what they did to Him.
Don't you know you are starving your spirit when you don't go to church? Don't forsake it!  Jesus died for the church, He is the head of the church, the church is His body and hell isn't going to stop the church from moving forward. Do you want to move forward or do you want to let the enemy walk all over you? Get up! Gird up your loins! Get yourself into church and be strengthened so you can fight the good fight of faith.
