AVOID EMOTIONAL
DECISIONS
There are some people who quit going
to church because someone offended them or they didn’t like this or that.
Because they allowed their emotions to dictate their actions they cut off a
critical line of spiritual food. It’s the same as cutting your fuel line on
your car and then expecting it to run. Your walk with the Lord will become
stagnant, like a pond without a fresh source flowing into it. I know
individuals who have stopped going to church for various reasons. Everything from
deception to hypocrisy keeps them away. Was it real or just their perception?
Remember, one’s perception is their reality, but either way the end result is
the same.
Not being happy at a church shouldn’t
stop you from going to church altogether. Find somewhere else to go,
understanding that even the most unique and spiritually alive church will
become flawed once you pass thru the doors. No one is perfect so finding the
perfect church is impossible. Not going anywhere at all one of the worst things
you can do for your faith. Take yourself and your emotions out of your decision
and visit churches with an open mind and heart. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead
you to a church where you can be blessed and be a blessing.
Don’t cut off your source of spiritual
nourishment for you’d be playing right into the enemy’s hands. Being
ineffective for God’s kingdom is his aim. It’s a battle you don’t want to fight
because you can’t win. Without God’s guidance and wisdom to draw from you don’t
stand a chance against the wiles of our wicked enemy.
The only way we will become more like
Christ in our daily lives is to stay tapped in to the only source of eternal
truth. Don’t base your decisions solely on your feelings and end up short
changing yourself. God has many wonderful blessings in store for those who stay
engaged with him continuously. Until next time, walk with the King and be a
blessing! rlkeller
