Generation This

Generation this…

“And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works, not staying away from our meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25 HCSB

I am amazed at how many people are not affiliated with any church these days. More and more I talk with people who claim a relationship with Jesus but chose not to join with a local body. Some call this “Generation this” the Churchless Christian. I have been in the ministry along time and over the years I have heard of people leaving the church because of “things” that bother them. Can I remind you this morning, that it is not about us! God did not call us to be happy, He called us to be holy! Scripture teaches us that we need to be concerned about one another. When a person leaves the assembly, an attempt should be made to restore the person to the fellowship in order to promote good works. But then the onus is on the person who left the assembly! We have to get over personal feelings and think about what Jesus did on Calvary’s cross. We are the body! We need to be joined together as the body. We need to work through not run from problems within the church. If you are reading this article this morning and you are a “churchless Christian” can I remind and plead with you to reconsider your stance! Strength comes when the body works together and if you are not doing your part it only hurts you. Let no one ever forsake the Assembly of God’s people! I love you all!
