11/04/17 THIS IS FOR ANYONE PLANNING TO BE IN CHURCH (or not).

Obviously I am just making a point with this question, since part of the question is unrealistic.

Would you want Jesus and other residents of heaven to welcome and accept you as warmly as you welcome and accept other people into your church's worship service?

The absurdity is that no one goes to heaven without being totally loved, accepted, welcomed and celebrated. But it is possible for someone to come to our church and not be warmly welcomed and accepted and loved by someone. Remember, whoever refuses to warmly and lovingly welcome someone into their church will not have to worry about how they are going to be welcomed into heaven.

If there is going to be any barrier between you and another person, let it be because the other person is presently rejecting you. EVEN THEN, DO THE CHRISTLIKE THING. Do not let it be because you refuse to offer love, kindness, friendship to them. This is not asking much of anyone. In fact this is only basic Christianity

If you do not have the Christian grace to love others, as Christ loves you and to let them know, by your words, your actions, your demeanor, that you love and cherish them, if you do not have grace enough to let them know you love them, at least be as gracious and as civil and as cordial as a hell bound sinner. Then, at any point during the service, publicly acknowledge your sin and seek salvation. Better yet. get saved before church so you can be the Christian God wants you to be and do the thing God wants you to do.

Remember, young eyes are watching you. Maybe young eyes in your own family, as well as other children and young people. Let them see you at your Christlike best. You are setting the tone and the course for young lives. BE CAREFUL.

As Pastor, I am more than ready to help you get right with God.
