Book Cover & Preview Text
When you enter your place of worship, what are
your thoughts? Are you thanking God for the opportunity
to enter His dwelling place one more time?
Are you anticipating being and receiving a blessing
while you are there? Are you excited about seeing the
other members of your congregation again?
As children of God, we must begin to prepare
ourselves to enter His house of worship. Before you
leave home, pray and ask God to prepare you for
entrance into His place of worship. Pray also for
the purpose for which you are going. You should
always plan your schedule so that you have ample
time to get to your place of worship. Nothing will
distract you more than being late. As you pull into
the parking lot, all thoughts should be on preparing
to enter God’s house, to worship not to be critical or
judgmental in any way.
