π΄Many today miss church because of football practice, online games, social media, movies, or hanging out with friends.
π΄A young man once told me he couldn’t make time to go to church on Sunday because he had to play soccer. How sad.
π΄The Lord Jesus Christ warns us of the need to be careful lest our hearts become overcharged with surfeiting.
πLuke 21:34 But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
π΄Avoid overindulgence in the things you're interested in or like to do, so much so that you get lost in them. This includes spending too much time on phones, games, entertainment, and social media.
π΄1 John 2:15-17 says, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”
π΄Sports, school activities, clubs, and hobbies are good, but they must never replace your walk with God.
π΄You shouldn't let such engagements take pre-eminence over being in Church when you ought to.
π΄If you give your wholehearted attention to such transient endeavours, you'll miss out on the most significant things of life: "For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come " (1 Timothy 4:8).
π΄To miss church services for soccer, gaming competitions, extra lessons, or even a business meeting isn't the best for you.
π΄Even if you were ordered to go for such a business meeting or soccer practice on a Sunday morning, show yourself to be different and request a change in the schedule! Be bold enough to stand for your faith, even when it feels uncomfortable.
π΄Show yourself to be spiritual.
π΄Don't let the things of the Spirit be relegated to second place in your life.
