Acts 20:7
“And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came
together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the
morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.”
How many of us are willing to sit and listen to a preacher
preach till midnight? How many of us are willing to sit and listen to a
preacher at all? In the New Testament there are plenty of examples of how God's
people set and listened to the men God sent to them. These people were starving
for the Word of God. Where is this hunger for God's Word today?
Also notice these people were called “disciples”. They were
there to learn the ways of our Lord. Not to play games or to be entertained.
They were there to learn and to worship. Many today are audiences filled with
fans rather than congregations filled with disciples. Which are you?
Praise the Lord, pray without ceasing!!! If you are a member
of a local church go today. If it is to far to travel, there are many ways to
listen or watch services online. Don't have a church? Do you desire to follow
the examples the Lord gives in His Word for church membership? Then seek His
guidance on where He would have you to go. If there are no true churches in
your area, contact me. I may can help or know someone who can.
You have no desire to join one of the Lord's churches? Why
not? Are you a child of God that is living in rebellion against our Heavenly
Father? Why would you not want to follow the examples given in His Word and
join the membership of one of His churches? Why would one of His children not
desire to be apart of the bride of the Son of God?
Or have you not received the free gift of salvation in Jesus
Christ? Is His Holy Spirit working on you today? Is He calling you to Himself?
Receive Him today and repent of your sins and follow Jesus in scriptural
baptism and into full fellowship with one of His churches.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
