GO TO THE TEMPLE

Today's reading: Acts 5-6

"Go to the Temple and give the people this message of life!" Acts 5:20 NLT

Of all the places the apostles could have gone, should have gone, would have gone--the angel of the Lord told them to head to church with the message of life.

To church!

To church?

Shouldn't the church have known? 

Shouldn't we?

And yet, every Sunday, we (the church goers) drag our lifeless hearts into the front doors of the church.

We carry our hopelessness into the pews.

We sing the worship songs without joy, or peace or faith.

There is a message of life in Jesus' life and ministry and death on the cross!

It's as much for us churched folk as it is for the lost and dying world.

Have we forgotten that? Have we chosen to lose sight of that truth? Have we allowed the cares of the world to drown out the life-giving message of the Gospel?

Let's all find that message in our hearts today and take it with us into our worship services tomorrow!
