OBEDIENCE TO ATTEND CHURCH



In God’s eyes, the human community is a family, a team. He made us not to be fiercely independent, but to be healthly interdependent. Man is created a worshipping being. If you don’t worship your God naturally you will find yourself worshipping other gods in form of money, power, sleep the list is endless.

In the third commandment, we are commanded to always remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. On top of Jesus strengthening that law when he gave his commands saying love your God with your all, he also said, where two or three meet in my name, there I will be present, that place today is the church.

I can’t brag about my love for God because I fail him daily, but I can brag about his love for me because he never fails. We are reminded that God is happy when we obey what he commands and he said obedience is better than sacrifice. Many people have received many graces and favors from God just by obeying what he commands.

We are encouraged to participate fully in the church activities, among others, singing and praying together, cleaning the church, handling church equipments carefully and most important being good role models to others, Christ is the best and perfect role model.

Catholic Church is universal, to mean it’s for all. If you know a friend who does not attend the church service, encourage him/her to attend, greatest is the celebration in heaven when one converts and accepts God as his Lord and saviour. 

Our greatest problem is not our politics, not our friends or our society, our greatest problem is our sin which Christ is so willing to forgive if we repent and obey him.In church our faith grows, and faith is the assurance of things hoped for and conviction of things not seen. Make a date with God and expect his blessings!!
