Clay in the Hands

I once heard a gentleman leaving an uplifting worship service say, “We had church today!”  I knew what he meant but it made me wonder, “Does that mean we haven’t been having church all the other days?”

What is church to you?  Is it the hour on Sunday morning that we gather together to sing and hear a message from God’s word?

Or is it the steeple topped building on the corner?  Or maybe it’s the people inside that steeple topped building?

In a general sense, all these answers are correct.  But in reality, the church is the people who gather together.

Sometimes we gather to sing and listen, sometimes we gather to study and pray, sometimes we gather to serve others and sometimes we just gather to party.

The point is that the church is the people doing life together – sharing life together.

So the next time you say, “I’m going to church,” think about what that means and let it shape what you do there.

Be a blessing today!
