"Sunday! Sunday" Goes the Song

The pop song Sunday Sunday by Steven Alexander James, David Alexander de Horne Rowntree speaks of tidy attire, the TV Guide, dreaming, food, sleeping late, family time, a walk in the park, people, patriotism, songs and singing, regret, pride, going out and finally sleeping in! That's what many people do! All but what thy should do!

Most people say "I don't need to go to church. I can worship God anywhere!" That's not wrong. Anyone CAN worship God anywhere, but the question remains "Do most people worship God anywhere?" Do you?

Remember, worshiping God is much more than enjoying what he created! And most Christians don't even truly believe God created it. How do we know he did? He said so! Is God a liar? It will appear that mankind questions the integrity of God. With those who don't believe in Truth, how are they to believe what God says?

Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"

The heathen who never heard the name of Jesus are without excuse! They are to seek him out. It seems that belief in what's not seen (God) is evidenced by what a person can clearly see! We see "the things that are made" and that validates that there is a God! If not God, who created what we see? There is no other explanation. Science can never explain that because that's Truth! With that said, all men "are without excuse". If we don't know God and never heard about Jesus, our first and most important assignment from God for you is "Find Truth. Find God!"

Truth is not found at the breakfast table, walking the park, golfing, fishing, or spending time with the family. Truth is found learning about God. The Learner's Handbook is Holy Scripture, together called The Bible.

Church is the place to learn about God. A bible-based church is there if one seeks it out. It's full of sinners, hypocrites, gaudy dressers, hillbillies, the elite, rude people, haters and several loving people! It has an imperfect minister, but one that endeavors to teach what God said and will do for you. You can find all that in the park, but there is another reason to go to church: to praise God and he wants us to do it as a "church", a gathering of his disciples.

Acts 4:31 "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."

Acts 11:26 "And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."

We see here several reasons to assemble as we do on Sundays:

• For prayer (communicating with God) 
• Receiving the Holy Ghost
• Speaking bold scripture
• Teaching
• Fellowship
• Unity

How often does a person see this worship in the park or on the golf course? Do people assemble and praise God this way at home; at least those who don't go to church? I think not!

"Sunday! Sunday!" is the refrain! Sing that song on the way to church. That's okay. We should all be joyous in the Lord. However, Sunday Sunday is the Lord's Day! Give it back to him to whom it belongs. Sunday Sunday is his!
