I have often heard Pastors preach, as an example, of people attending Church Sunday morning and then reverting to the "world" in the parking lot. Lately, Ive seen people revert as soon as they walk out of the sanctuary and into the lobby.
Seriously.
We are the Church. We are the household of God. If we have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit dwells inside of us. We are His vessel to use as He desires. Shouldn't we then desire to please God in all we do, in all we say, in our conduct and our interactions?
Shouldn't the Holy Spirit be ever present in our lives? No only in the sanctuary, not only in the lobby, not only in the parking lot but on the road, in our town, in our state, in our country and in our world.
If we have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior shouldn't we act like Him all the time? If the Holy Spirit is in us, shouldn't we let His light shine from us? If we are the Church, shouldn't we conduct ourselves as the household of God? If we are the household of God shouldn't we be pillars and foundations of truth?
1 Timothy 3:14-15 NLT
14 I am writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon, 15 so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
Blessings, Cecilia
