"Mom, why do we have go to church?"
|
|||
|
|
"We go to church to pray and worship God!"
|
|||
|
|
"But we can do that at home. I say my prayers before I go to
|
|||
|
|
bed, and Dad thanks God for food before supper."
|
|||
|
|
"At church we have fellowship with other people who <20>believe
|
|||
|
|
in God."
|
|||
|
|
"What is 'fellowship'?"
|
|||
|
|
"Fellowship is caring about other believers and sharing news
|
|||
|
|
about what God has done."
|
|||
|
|
"Is that like when I told my friend about Jesus?"
|
|||
|
|
"Not quite, <20>that is called witnessing. <20>Fellowship is <20>more
|
|||
|
|
like <20>going to a party where everyone knows your name, <20><>everyone
|
|||
|
|
believes <20>in God and his son Jesus, <20>and everyone is always ready
|
|||
|
|
and <20>happy to help you in any way. <20>Everyone cares about what <20>is
|
|||
|
|
happening <20>in your life, <20>and is ready to listen if you <20>need <20>to
|
|||
|
|
talk, <20><>and ready to pray with you about your or <20>someone <20>else's
|
|||
|
|
needs."
|
|||
|
|
"That <20>sounds like the Bible study you have here on Tuesdays
|
|||
|
|
with all those ladies!"
|
|||
|
|
"That's right! <20>We all share God in common, <20>and are <20>always
|
|||
|
|
ready to share him and what he has done!"
|
|||
|
|
"My teacher in Sunday School always asks 'What did God do in
|
|||
|
|
your <20>life this past week?' <20>Once Joey said that God gave him <20>an
|
|||
|
|
'A' on his math quiz!"
|
|||
|
|
"Your Sunday School class is a fellowship!"
|
|||
|
|
"Mom, is fellowshiping important?"
|
|||
|
|
"Yes. <20>Without fellowship, <20>a <20>believer might start to <20>feel
|
|||
|
|
alone in the world. <20>Believers need to share, to know that God is
|
|||
|
|
working in our, and other people's lives."
|
|||
|
|
"Mom, <20><>I <20><>know it's Friday, <20>but could we go to church <20>to
|
|||
|
|
fellowship now?"
