Good morning to on this the Lord’s day.
We have the opportunity to join together in corporate worship, all be it online. During this past week I (Mike) read an interesting quote on joining together to worship God.
"When the saints gather on God’s appointed day and worship Him in the way that He has directed, God is actually there. We literally come into His presence. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? In something that seems as mundane as a church service, we are actually given the opportunity to come before the living God, the Creator of the universe, the holy, self-sufficient, transcendent God. We meet Him, really and truly. If it weren’t for this, Christian worship would be quite meaningless. It would be, I daresay, a waste of your time—especially when the world is urging you to catch the big game that day instead. But because we meet with God, everything changes. Corporate worship becomes the greatest means of making us into what we were always meant to be: the image bearers of God. (Jonathan Landry Cruse. What Happens When We Worship. Reformation Heritage Books.)
As we meet together today, "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 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 ..."
(Hebrews 10:23-25)
Have a good day. Keep warm and safe.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
