"It's Time To Go!"
Last week, Jen and I decided
to go see a movie. We both arrived home
about 6pm, quickly ate supper with the kids, and got ready to leave for the 7pm
movie we wanted to see. We were excited
to go on a "date" even though it was a weeknight, so we kept
reminding each other, "It's time to go!" I got in the car first. Jen got in on the passenger side and started
to place her purse on the floor by her feet when she screamed like I haven't
heard in a looooonnnnnnnngggggggg time!
I thought it was "time to go" to the movies. She thought it was "time to go" out
of the car in an instant. She was out of
that car so fast and about 20 feet away half-yelling and half-laughing. She left her windows open when she got home,
and a bird had flown into her car while we had supper. I got a baseball bat to slip under the bird
and get him out so he could fly to safety.
It was a very young hawk who could barely fly away. For that young hawk, it was "time to
go" back to its nest.
"It's time to go"
on summer vacation in a few weeks, but it will still be "time to go"
to church each week. I want to remind
everyone of this because God calls us to come to worship Him and be
strengthened in our faith. Summer
vacation is for school, not for church.
I pray that you'll be devoted to regular worship this summer. It is urgent for our spiritual growth. More urgent than a movie or getting out of
the car!! We need to be like the first
Christian churches in Acts regarding coming together for worship - they were
devoted to it.
"They devoted themselves to the apostles'
teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."
Acts 2:42
I'll see you in church this
summer!!
Family Discussion Points!

plans.

and has to be reminded "It's time to go?"

being in church with other Christians. (NOTE:
It is a commandment [#3])
