Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16

 

With the war in Ukraine continuing, many, including myself, are watching the news to get an update on what’s happening on the ground in that country. What’s fascinating is Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky continues to hold press conferences and conference calls from the heart of his country. He has provided a wealth of information to the outside world and has instilled confidence in the Ukraine citizens who continue to remain and fight the enemy. Please continue to pray for the people of Ukraine and their leadership.

 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

 

As Christians, we too are in a war against the evil forces of darkness with satan and his demons doing everything they can to destroy the works of the Lord. What better way to show the unity of brothers and sisters of Christ than unite on Sunday at church. There, we receive the word of God, fellowship with others, hear about the news of the church family, offer prayers in support of others and sing hymns to the Lord through praise and worship.

 

When you stay home on Sunday, you lose touch with what’s happening in the family of God, you miss out on giving God praise through your act of worship and most of all, you miss God’s blessings when you put a priority on other things (including rest) vs. coming together once a week to show God your commitment to Him. Find a way to come to church today and be blessed for it! God bless!
