“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; February 22, 2008

 

          If you walked out of the era before Christ and were to walk into just about any place where religious services are held today, you would probably notice something pretty significant – we don’t do animal sacrifices.  What was once a common practice is archaic (not to mention unseemly) today. 

          There is however, a process by which we sacrifice in worship God and it’s one that begins before we even get to the building.  The early Christians were told, “… let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.  And do not neglect doing good and sharing; for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” (Hebrews 13:15-16)  In essence, our sacrifice doesn’t involve animals, it involves attitude.  To take it a step further, that attitude isn’t one that begins at the start of the worship, it’s the way we treat people throughout the week.

          Are we planning on worshiping God this weekend?  Are we preparing for that sacrifice of praise by helping His people?

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
