While we were out of town this weekend, we visited my parent’s church. The main thing I got out of the pastor’s sermon was this. Every church has their gossipers, knit pickers, and everyone in between. We have to make sure we don’t put ourselves in the conversation and participate. That is just as bad. In their church they have a sign as you leave the sanctuary that says, “Now entering the mission field”. The pastor made the comment he would like to put up a sign as you enter the sanctuary, “You are now entering a NO griping and whining zone”. (They don’t speak out at their church so I had to bite my tongue, because I wanted to say, “Amen”) I wondered if Bro. T would let me put that sign up in our foyer. Probably not. But it is something to think about. Why are you at church? Are you there to worship God? Are you there to let God speak to you? Or are you there to be seen, see who is there, or do you have your own agenda? Make sure your heart is in the right place.
