LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

Have you ever heard the old business saying “location is everything”? While that may be true in business, it is not true in our faith. You do not have to go to a church to show your faith. You do not have to be with a bunch of fellow Christians to share your faith. You do not have to have a designated time to worship. This Wednesday night I missed our youth service as I was at a hockey game with family and friends (we won by the way). Just because I was not at service does not make less of a believer nor does it make me a bad Christian. Do not get me wrong, going to church and being part of the services is important. All I am saying is that you can not base how good Christian you are based off of your location. What matters more, where you are on Sunday morning or what’s in your heart? Being seen in a church service or living a life based in faith? You can go to church 7 days a week, be apart of everything that you can be, sing every song you can think of but what good is it if your heart is not in it? What good is it if you are living wrong once you leave out the doors of the church? Our salvation and our faith is not based on location. It is based on a belief that God loved us enough to send His son to die for our sins so that we can be saved. Go to church when you can. Get involved, there are so many great things to get into at a church. Just do it for the right reasons. Do it because that’s where your heart is leading you. Don’t do it just to be seen and don’t do it if you think that you have to be there in order to be saved. God loves us no matter where we are.
