Saturday's Sense-Shouldn't We Be Excited?

            Football games. Movies. Shopping. Fairs. Camp. Concerts. These are events we plan and then look forward to. These events are something we should look forward to because they are not wrong in and of themselves-they are fun and it is wonderful to have (good, clean) fun times with our friends, but do we look to Bible class, Bible studies and worship services with the same excitement and anticipation? We should. We should be even more excited to be participants in activities that praise our Lord!

            Last week, I encouraged you to get out of your comfort zone and be friendly. I challenged you to mentally prepare yourself to be the one to walk up to that visitor Sunday morning and welcome them to Bible class. I challenged you to tell that sweet lady who is always sitting on the pew in front of you how much you are encouraged just by her presence each week. Today, I challenge you to be excited about going to worship tomorrow and every Sunday. I encourage you to encourage your friends to be there for midweek Bible study. I challenge you to be excited and let that excitement spill over into the lives of those you come in contact with. It won’t be long before your congregation is buzzing with love and excitement to assemble together to praise our Lord and Savior.
