I enjoy going to different churches as I travel. Today, we went to Soldotna Bible Chapel. I have been at this church half a dozen times over the years when we were here fishing. It is a relatively large church of about 400 people this morning. The preaching is solid, and the worship is about half hymns and older choruses. I enjoyed it very much. I have been to every kind and flavor of church imaginable and enjoy most of them. Several people greeted us, and one fellow talked at length about where we were from and what we were doing. A lady there grew up in Trout Lake, and I was her youth pastor for a year. It was just by chance that she saw me. It was fun talking to her. God’s blessings in our lives are conditional. His blessings are rewards for living for him and obeying His Word. One of the significant reasons He blesses us is because we love His Church and are involved in making her beautiful. Jesus loves the church; the church is the body of Christ, the Bride of Christ. It is a good area to consider: what are we doing to make our church healthier? What is our general attitude toward our church and the church in general? Don’t ever do or say anything to create disunity in your church; that is a quick way to get in trouble with Jesus.
