5 Benefits of church going for family life (Part 2)

 

 

In my last post I gave the first 5 benefits of Church going for family life. Today, I want to share the last 5 benefits. Family is the bed rock of the church. Should the family be unstable, the church will certainly be affected. So, church activities are programmed among other things, to build a stable family life for members.

Here are the other benefits

1. Avoidance of trouble

Church going has been a great blessing to my family. We have kept away from troubles because we chose to be in church when there was service in church.  The people who would have put us into trouble did not find us available for outings that would have ruined our family life.

2. Choice of company

Going to church enables you to choose the right company to keep. Children make friends with people that love God and will never lead them astray. Children who go to church and participate fully with their hearts tend to overcome peer pressure more.

3. Choice of spouse

When you go to church, you have the opportunity to meet and marry a God fearing person. The marriage foundation will be solid because both of you are on the same spiritual platform which is needed for a successful family life. Read more...

5 Benefits of Church Going For Family Life

 

 

Hey there! Jesus certainly loves you!

“I don’t want to go to church!” screams a little boy. “I don’t feel like going to church”, says a parent. You must have heard or said one of these sentences many times or at least twice. This calls for a reflection on the benefits of church going for family life.

An understanding of these benefits will change our perspective and attitude towards making the trip to church, no matter the distance or how we feel at that time.

The benefits: 

 
1. Obedience to God
God commanded us in Hebrews 10:25, not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. This is for our own good so that we will not be swept away by the things of the world. So, as a family we obey God by going to Church.

2. Fellowship
When families go to church together, they interact with other families and learn from one another. What was a challenge in one family life will be easily solved by learning how another solved it. The bible says in Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend”. (NLT)

3. Family Life moulding
Church going is crucial and plays a major part in moulding our family life. The teachings mould our individual characters which we manifest in the family. My family is built on love, honesty, integrity, openness, faithfulness, discipline and trust because individually we have these moulded in us through the teachings we get from church.

How To See The Glory Of God In Churches

 

 

How do you see God’s glory in the church? Surely, some Christians have wondered this in their hearts. So, in today’s post, we will look at it! Here we go,

1. Clean up

This is the first thing to do. The Lord cannot come in the midst of filth! (Habakkuk 1:13) You have to clean up your life to attract God. Also, the level of His glory you see is determined by how much of your life you have surrendered to Him. And every step you take towards Him determines how many steps He will take towards you (James 4:8).

 

When the Lord wanted to reveal Himself (His glory, for no one can see God and live) to the Israelites in the wilderness, He asked them to clean up. This they did and He showed up (Exodus 19:10-20).

 

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

Exodus 19:10-11 NKJV

 

Therefore, if you want to see the glory of God in your church, the church members must clean up their lives. They’re to live right before the Lord, for without holiness no man shall see Him (Hebrews 12:14) Read more...
