Recently my sister-in-law Laura shared
the following story on her Facebook page, and I felt compelled by God to share
this with our blog followers because it is such a sad story:
A
friend of mine ( in another state) called me just a bit ago to tell me she had
finally gone to church. I have stayed on her for many years that she needed to
be in church. She told me that she went
but was disappointed. I asked her why. Her answer shocked me. She said “I got there; they handed me a piece
of paper with a schedule on it; I went in; there were seats, so I sat down. When the service started,
we sang a bit; then a lady sang a special; then the preacher spoke, and we went
home within an hour, and they told us they would "see us next week.”
I said "ok so what was the problem???"
She said, “As much as you have bragged
about God and his mighty power and the joy of serving Him, I was expecting so
much more. I thought we would feel His
presence, see miracles and just have a life changing experience. But I left thinking 'that was it and we do it
again next week'???"
