curious...
I've been biting my tongue for a while with what I'm going to come out with. I've noticed that a lot of people have problems being in church for long periods of time. The church that I attend starts at 11 AM and it ends between 1 and 1:30. I thoroughly enjoy church and would have a problem if it ended in one hour. As Christians, why do have an issue with the longevity of church? God grants us six days out of a week to do whatever we want to do, yet when it's time for church service, we put a time limit on it. If we broke down how much time we put into worldly things and compare it to how much time we put into the BREAD WINNER of our souls, there would be a huge gap. Most of us work forty hours a week, go the gym for about ten hours a week, do something socially for four hours a week (at a minimum), but church...ONE HOUR! However, we expect God to continue to bless us with the a good job, a healthy lifestyle, a family, etc. Additionally, we complain about going to Sunday School, Bible Class, revival, etc. Some of us even skip church all of the time because we're so tired and say to ourselves God knows my heart but when we're tired on Mon.-Fri., we don't call in everyday saying that! Why are we like that? We as Christians always put God second. Why do we do that?
Now I know that I am not where I should be as a Christian, but I am at the point where I know that I can't live without Him and I'm doing everything in my power to get right with God.
