Stop it and get your butt to church!!

    For what it's worth, it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you are proud of. And if you find you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.-author unknown.
   I have a friend who I always ask to come to church with me. One week this friend says to me," I can't go there. I know what people are saying about me, and so I'm not going!" I said first of all I've never heard anyone talk about you. Not that I would because I'm your friend, but listen, Are you doing something wrong? This friend did not answer. So I said Babe, if you're doing something wrong, stop it, and get your butt to church! In the same vain, If your not doing something wrong get your butt to church, if they're talking about you let them talk, God will take care of that! Either way the best place to be is at church!
   Now friends you don't have to tell me that you can be a Christian without going to church, I know. However, I also know it's alot easier to walk the righteous path with good Christian friends around you. I know that it is our human nature to walk more upright when we are answerable to fellow Christians. Are these Christians always gonna make the right choices and be a blessing and a soft place to fall? Nope, at times they will hurt you and at times you will be the one who hurts them. Sad but true. I refer back to the previous paragraph, stop what you're doing and get your butt to church. And there is nowhere better for them to be than in church.
   I know I have found myself filled with anger and bitterness and all manner of worldly things and had to admit I was not living a life I was proud of and had to start again. I am glad I did. I am beloved and proud of who I am becoming in him. So friends the only thing to be ashamed of is if you staunchly hold on to these sins and decide to keep your distance from the redemptive power He holds.Repent and be redeemed and remade! Please go back I promise nothing of this world is half as satisfying as a life lived in and for Him! 2 Cor:2:17 if anyone is in Christ, that person is a new creation. The old has gone the new is here.
