What about church?
I was asked a few weeks ago, "Why do you go to church?" I have gone to church 3 times a week for my entire life barring illnesses and such; yet, I didn't quite know the best way to answer this young lady, for you see, she was unsaved. Why my answer should be different for her than it would for a believer, I don't know; but I didn't want to give her an answer she wouldn't understand because of her lack of spiritual connection with God. I gave her an answer that went something like this: "I go to church because I am trying to keep fellowship with God and when I don't go to church often it is easy to misstep in my life and eventually I start making my own rules for life and forget I am living for God. Church is a weekly reminder that I don't have to do it on my own and puts great biblical resources and counselors in my path." I don't know if that was good enough or not; but I know it made me want to go to church with a greater expectation to get things from God because this young lady goes to church on occasion and I have a desire for her to see God in me. I have begun to thirst more for the Word of God to change me into what He wants so He can work His plan without me getting in the way.
