Too many people in this generation have developed a spectator mentality when it comes to church, as if you can just punch your church attendance card and you are set for the week.
I like the way Keith Green put it, "Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger."
I suggest that we need to get in the habit of BEING the church instead of just going to church. We need to correct the error of leaving our houses saying, "I'm going to church" and start saying, "I'm going to be with the church."
Being a Christ follower is a 24 hr/day job. God never said it would be easy, in fact this is what he said:
And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Mark 13:13 (NLT)
Don't just go to church and watch. BE THE CHURCH!
