“Let’s realize that the church is not just a building. When we say ‘I don’t feel like going to church today’, we might as well say I don’t feel like living life to the fullest.” – #ToddCPittman
Yep, I Said It!
…and so did Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV) – (24) And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, (25) not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
“There were not only times when I said I didn’t want to go to church, but there was a season in my life that I actually never went. I know that, for some people, as opposed to being physically present in a worship center some of us choose to worship via streaming services or even meditation and that’s great. Just because we are not physically present doesn’t mean we’re going to hell or God loves us any less, but allow me to share what I accepted about our choice of worship that impacted me. I received that the Church of the Bible is not a brick and mortar building, but it’s the collective warmth and love of people chosen by God. In other words, we are the church. We are the body of Christ. I also found that out of the many habits I picked up during my lifetime, SMH, there is no better habit than regularly coming together with others to not only hear God’s Word but also to encourage each other. I’m talking about fellowship! I’m talking about a place for spiritual growth! I’m talking about a place that reminds us and teaches us that we are here to serve and to love! Look, if we really want to strengthen our immune system so we prevail during dark times then we need to exercise all our senses. Worshipping in the physical presence of others exercises our sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. In the spirit of Psalm 34:8, let’s get into a new habit, let’s taste and see!” – #ToddCPittman
