Last Post….Enjoyable Sunday’s….What About Not So Enjoyable Sunday

Sonny Owens — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:13:58 +0000

I began with “the past two Sunday’s were most enjoyable.” They really were! Last Sunday was the opposite. Sure we worshiped. I sang with the spirit and honored the Lord by eating and communing with Him, and the church, through His Supper. I preached as well as I could. So, what was discouraging about our worship. So many brethren was not there. We had (only) 109 in worship. I knew and understood where some were but it was like this was the Sunday everybody was gone. Of course everybody was not gone because 109 were there and 89 was at our PM assembly. But so many were not there. Some just do not care that forsaking worship kills the spirit of those who work hard for the church to grow and prosper in the Lord. It is disheartening at why many do not worship. It is disheartening to see one come in right on time (did not attend Bible study) and he is hurried down front to serve the church the Lord’s supper. It is disheartening to see so many choose other places to be on Sunday. It is disheartening to see those who wish to do something that is good but to forsake worship to do it. Read Luke 10:38-42

Worst of all it seems (to me) that it is just expected that this is the way it is. There is not a rush to find the lost sheep. There is no recognition that there are any lost sheep.

Are there any lost sheep? Does it matter whether worship is attended? Do we count among the faithful those who live such calloused lives of devotion? What do we do? Nothing is not an option!

If nothing is done by me (preacher) elders and the whole church can we say that we are the Lord’s church?

Frustration! I dare us to be better.

Not Feeling Good Religion

Sonny Owens — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 23:18:57 +0000

All my “Christian” life I have heard preachers and others talk about “feel good religion. ” It is described as a religion of shallow faith. The Bible certainly declares that we are to live by faith. 2 Corinthians 5:7

Living by faith is a life of allowing our trust in Jesus Christ as God’s unique Son to lead us and guide us into faithful service to the Master. We understand that it is through this faith that we please God. Hebrews 11:6

There is another way to look at “feel good religion.” We, as God’s children, should feel good about our walk with Him.

It is not “feel good religion” that hampers members of the churches of Christ today. Hopefully we do feel good about our zealous living for God through the person of Jesus Christ.

Our problem honestly speaking is “not feeling good religion.”

I don’t feel good this morning. I don’t think I’ll go to worship. Then, too often, the whole family stays home from meeting with the church or fellowshipping with the church. Yes, and even helping with the work of the church

I had to work late or work hard or I just don’t feel good or I got up to late and excuse after excuse leads us to having a faithless faith.

I wish we had a “feel good religion.” Regardless of how we feel we are excited to worship and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hell or high water can’t stop one who walks by faith. Not feeling good is an excuse that comes from the bowels of hell.

What did God see?

April the 19 finally arrived and many (did not get a count but it was a great number) from Eastwood worship with our brethren at Smithsonia. The Smithsonia Church of Christ is an all black congregation and we (Eastwood) are all white.

What did God see? He saw, brethren worshiping together. I saw salt and pepper. God saw a wonderful blending of His children. It was as good as I imagined. The Eastwood congregation is a to be comended for opening doors and enjoying God’s church.
