During the time that I pastored a church, I would go and study God’s Word there during the week. There was no one there except me, God, and the Bible that I was studying from. The building was quiet and sometimes cold but the difference always came on Sunday morning when the people came and they sang the songs and worshiped God. I could feel God’s Spirit fill the space that was empty and cold before.
The next day, on Monday, I would come to study some more of God’s Word to prepare for the next sermon. The building was lifeless again except for me, God, and my Bible. The life of the church is not the music or the sermon. The life of the church is the people who come to worship God and who come to have their lives changed by Him. Without the people a church is just a building, the Church is the Bride of Jesus Christ and that is every believer and even those who are still searching for their Savior. Come to His house so that one day He will take you to His house and yours in Heaven.
