Walk worthy of the Lord


God’s Presence at Church


Walk worthy of the Lord. — Colossians 1:10

The world gets a glimpse of God
When those who claim to be
The followers of Jesus Christ
Are living righteously. — Sper



I love reading church slogans. You know, the ones you see on the
marquee in front of churches. Recently I noticed a slogan that said,
“Come in and experience the presence of God.” That one caught my
attention, primarily because it’s an important promise to make and
sometimes a hard promise to keep. Hard, because if we’re not careful
our churches might reflect the presence of its people more than the
presence of our God.




So what would a church have to do to display the presence of God? Its
people would have to live like Him! Dynamics like hospitality, the
loving acceptance of all kinds of people, a quickness to serve, a
tangible love for one another that makes people feel safe and included
regardless of colour or class, and a patient tolerance of one
another’s weaknesses would all be a great way to start. Paul said we
should walk in a manner “worthy of the Lord” (Col. 1:10). And he also
said that being worthy means that we will be humble, gentle, bearing
with one another in love, eagerly maintaining the unity of the Spirit
in the bond of peace (Eph. 4:2-3).

Let’s live in such a way that others will experience the presence of
the God who lives in us — wherever we are, but especially at church. —
Joe Stowell



Those who walk with Christ bring the presence of God to everyone around them.



PRAISE GOD
BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD

THE SALVE REGINA ( Hail Holy Queen )
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
