While sitting here listening to a sermon by Bishop Jakes, he gave some reasons why most people go to church... here was his questions along with my answers.
Some people go....
1. To find a mate: No2. For the popularity: No
3. Pressure: Yes
4. To help their work ethic: No
...and other ones that did not pertain to me, but I have realized that I, Otisha Germany, go to church so often because I know I have to. Wow :) I don't get much out of it half the time. I don't make applicable points. I go, I give my offering and pay my tithes and fellowship but then I go back home and don't make changes to my own lifestyle. Not that every sermon is going to pertain to me, but I should be able to use something from the message.
Lord, I am aware of what you have asked me to do. What you have asked all your children to do... To not forsake the assembling with the saints, but I ask that you would change my heart and attitude from being that of have to, to want to!
What can I do to get more out of it?
1. Take a writing utensil and paper to make notes
2. Try to come out with applicable points
Thank you Jesus!
