“I was glad when they said unto me, ‘ Let us go into the house of the Lord.’” (Psalm 122:1)
I have often wondered in my years of ministry and pastoring churches why there are some folks who get angry if you invite them to church and others are very happy someone invited them.
When asked why she came to church on a very cold, rainy, miserable Sunday evening, one elderly lady said she wanted everyone to know whose side she was on. Maybe those folks who bristle when invited to church have never changed sides. Perhaps they are still part of the devil’s team. If that is true then it will take a miracle from the miracle working God to change them.
When people appreciate the invitation to go to the house of God, they never have to be cajoled, begged or shamed into worshipping the Lord or participating in the things of God.
Do a self analysis. Are you glad when someone says to you, “Let’s go to the house of the Lord,” or had you rather not be bothered?
