The Eternal Church Service

By admin • September 19, 2004 • Filed in: General

In summary, there is a time to worship, a time to work, a time to pray, a time for recreation, a time to meditate and read the scriptures, and a time for family. In fact, God himself showed us that in many ways, work and anything else were two seperate things in Genesis 2 where it states:

1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

He knew when it was a time of work and a time of rest. He knew when it was time to work and a time to ask us to keep the day he sanctified holy. He even brought this concept forth to Moses when he told Moses that the provision of manna and the work needed to obtain Manna (Exodus 16) was to be done for six days and on the sixth day stockpile food to eat on the Sabbath because God sanctified it as the day of rest and worship.

Therefore, one does not have to create an environment of an eternal church service or a eternal worship service just to feel in control or to feel ‘in God’s will’. One has to simply follow the Scriptures and enact the principles in their lives to where the example led will demonstrate God’s love to a dying world. When it’s time to work, work hard and smart. When it’s time to worship, worship with thanksgiving and praise.
