Many of you will “go to church” within the next 24 hours. Here are some things to remember that might help you get the most of it:
- Jesus is the reason you are going. So what if no one compliments your new earrings or your man bun!
- Jesus is the reason you are going. So what if the music wasn’t upbeat enough for you or the pastor’s jokes weren’t funny enough (or he didn’t tell any)!
- Jesus is the reason you are going. So what if no one spoke to you!
- Jesus is the reason you are going. So what if no one asked you to take certain stage by being on a committee or taking up the offering. (You wouldn’t like our church because we don’t pass a plate. We have an offering box.)
You don’t go for what you can receive but for what you can give. Give God your best praise! Give God your best offering! Go with the mindset that you are there to give, and you will be surprised what you receive in return.
Matthew Winters (Honest Thoughts from a Pastor) 
Well said. It’s amazing how some Christians can be petty even in the church. 😑
I’ve seen it way too many times.
Amen!!!!
The center of gathering to worship must be pleasing the King of kings. What does he want? He has to be the main thing, not an afterthought. It is not about us but about Jesus!
Amen!
AMEN !!
This should be posted on the church doors, or in the church bulletin!
I wish I could “like” this more than once.
My pastor was just covering this today. My home church had a member dedication and baby dedication today. Today was about branches and coming to Jesus. 🙂
Amen!❤
