What’s Your Excuse?
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching. – Hebrews 10:24-25
They always have an excuse. You know who I’m talking about. They’re traveling. They’re tired. They don’t like the topic. They’re at the beach. Or the mountains. Or, really, anywhere that doesn’t involve church.
Some people joke about the Christmas and Easter people. Throw in a dose of Mother’s Day. Except it’s not funny. They’re missing something important. They’re missing fellowship with other believers. They’re missing opportunities to learn and grow closer to Christ.
Sure. Some people say they’re good because they watch the service online. (And please know that this is not directed at those who physically can’t attend church anymore.) It’s easier to watch a service online than attend in person. But it’s not the same. There’s no connection there. No pun intended.
We find time to do what’s important to us. Is Jesus important to you? You may believe in your heart but if you’re not gathering with other believers on a regular basis maybe it’s time to do a heart check.
