God Incomprehensible:

"Lord, how great is my dilemma! In Your presence silence best becomes me, but love inflames my heart and constrains me to speak. Were I to hold my peace the stones would cry out, yet if I speak, what shall I say? Teach me to know that I cannot know, for the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support me where reason fails, and I shall think because I believe, not in order that I may believe. In Jesus’ name. Amen"

The Wisdom of God:

"You, O Christ, who were tempted in all points like as I am, yet without sin, make me strong to overcome the desire to be wise and to be reputed wise by others as ignorant as ourselves. I turn from my wisdom as well as from folly and flee to You, the wisdom of God and the power of God. Amen"

The Divine Omniscience of God:

"Lord, You know all things. You know my downsitting and my uprising and are acquainted with all my ways. I can inform You of nothing. It is vain to try to hide anything from You. In the light of Your perfect knowledge I would be as artless as a little child. Help me to put away all care, for You know the way that I take and when you have tried me, I shall come forth as gold. Amen"

The Grace of God:
"God of all grace, whose thoughts toward me are ever thoughts of peace and not of evil, give me a heart to believe that I am accepted in the Beloved: and give me a mind to admire that perfection of moral wisdom which found a way to preserve the integrity of heaven and yet receive me there. I am astonished and marvel that One so holy and dread should invite me into Your banqueting house and cause love to be the banner over me. I cannot express the gratitude I feel, but look at You on my heart and read it there. Amen"

The Mercy of God: "Holy Father, Your wisdom excites my admiration, Your power fills me with fear, Your omnipresence turns every spot of earth into holy ground, but how can I thank You enough for Your mercy which comes down to the lowest part of my need to give me beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and for the spirit of heaviness a garment of praise? I praise and magnify Your mercy, through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen." (

A scripture we all should keep in mind as we go through life is Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

Why do you go to church? You don’t have to go to church to go to heaven.

They’re right. Going to church doesn’t save you. Jesus does.

But let me ask you this… the next time you’re sick, don’t go to the doctor and see how that works out.

I go to church because I need it. I need the fellowship. I need the encouragement. I need the conviction. I need the reminder of who I am and whose I am.

Because I know sometime this week—probably sooner rather than later—I’m going to fail. I’m going to lose my patience. I may say something I shouldn’t say. I’ll fall short of the standard God has called me to.

I’m not perfect. Never have been. Never will be.

That’s why I go.

Church isn’t a place where perfect people gather. It’s a place where broken people come to worship a perfect Savior. It’s where we encourage one another, bear each other’s burdens, and grow together in our faith.

That building isn’t the church. It’s just a building.

The people inside who have been redeemed by the grace of God—that’s the church.

So no, I don’t go to church because I think it earns me a place in heaven. I go because I need a reset. I need to be reminded that I’m a sinner saved by the grace of God. I need to worship, to learn, and to be challenged to become more like Christ.

Hebrews 10:25 reminds us not to forsake assembling together. God knew we would need each other.

So I’ll keep showing up—not because I have to, but because I need to.

What’s your reason?
