Gratitude Day 24/ The God Factor 2 - The Church ⛪
The True Church can never fail. For it is based upon a rock.
T.S. Eliot

The house of God is truly a place of refuge, a central home for sinners and saints, by this time tomorrow every house of God will be filled with
people from all works out life, I could remember back then during my university days, a question was asked of a young guy why he decides to come to church, his reply was hilarious, he doesn't want to be the only one left in the building(hostel), just in case a report was made of a theft , he didn't want to be a suspect, that's just one of the many reasons people come to God's house. The house of God is truly a refuge. 😁 😁.
Some go to Church because is Sunday, they've been accustomed to it, it's a religious ritual, every Sunday it's church day, even though there minds wanders, each thought far from the message of the Altar. They go back home the same, the way they came.
The Church is the one institution that exists for those outside it.
William Tyndale
I have friends who goes to church because he's a worker, many are in the choir because they have a very good voice, some, it's the gift of instruments, though at other day there ways does not concur with Christ, but only on that Sunday, the church is truly a place to showcase your gift.
Behold among men,
the dweling place of God,
They shall be His people
And He shall be there Lord
And God.
A Catholic Hymn..
The Bible tells of the incidence that happened at the temple, where at Christ death on the Cross , the curtain separating the people from seeing the Holies of Holies was torn from the top to the buttom, ushering in a new era where everyone can approach the throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus. The church of Christ our Lord.
Today am grateful, am grateful for the church of Christ, I thank God for instituting this great gathering of people under his name to proclaim Himself, even if you're a sinner or saint you can count on Sunday to come before God and say your mind, table your problem and get solutions by trusting in him.
Every one who is in one problem or the other found the church as the centre point of solution, a place where you can see the Priest, the Priest who will table your case to God.
I haven't found a place of refuge like the house of God :The Church ⛪.
May God continue to bless his house in bringing more souls to Christ.
I REJOICE WHEN I HEARD THEM SAY (PSALM 122)
CHORUS
We shall go up into God’s house
with shouts of joy
We shall go into house of the Lord
VERSE 1
I rejoiced when I heard them say:
“Let us go to God's house,”
And now our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem.
Hymn 19 of the Catholics Hymn Book.

Good message. Let's always meet with the Saints where we can learn and share with each other.
Church is a place where those that seeks God, come together to mediate on His words, a place of mercy.
