THE LOVE FOR GOD'S HOUSE

No wonder the Psalmist longed for God’s House. It is sad that many people, even some who claim to know Christ, take so little interest in His church-—the Church He purchased with His own blood.

Some people only show up on important occasions in life. The only time the pastor ever sees some people is when they’re hatched, matched, or dispatched! We see the family when the children are born and dedicated to God, when marriage takes place, or when they die. We should transmit to our children a proper appreciation for the love in God’s House, the loveliness of God’s House, and the Life in God’s House.
