Entering Into Church For The First Time

As I was watching the show Green Leaf, I saw so many of the reasons why people don't go to church and don't believe God is who He is. Now I am human as well and I truly do understand fully that it is a foreseeable conclusion. Take for instance the girl who's never been to church and was invited by someone and decided to go, but she gets there and is treated like a sinner because her clothes are not proper attire. Now in my mind I don't think it's proper to ONLY acknowledge the person's appearance. It's not for us to judge the person, it's our job to offer them Jesus, not what we think people should wear the first time we see them. I was in that same position myself at 20 years old and I can tell you that IT bothered me then that I was judged by my black knee length suspended dress and white long sleeved crop neck shirt. For having been treated like I had a mindset to slither into church and distract all men. I remember it like yesterday. 

The whole sermon turned to women dressing modestly in church and wearing longer dresses and skirts. I felt so embarrassed and my dress wasn't even that short. knee length at 5 feet tall, come on. I hadn't done anything to feel that way. I vowed I would never go back to a church again. Of course it was God's plan to come into the knowledge of JESUS and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit at 26 years old. But just imagine if I had developed a hard heart and never wanted to know who Jesus was, I can't imagine how that would have turned out. But I sure am glad I didn't have to find out.

Before I end this blog post, I would like to extend an invitation to people that want to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. If that's you today, just recite this prayer:

Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and surrender my life to You. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That he died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day for my Victory, I believe that in my heart and make confession with my mouth, that Jesus is my Lord and Savior.

If you recited this prayer, then you are saved according to Romans Chapter 10 verses 9 and 10. If you don't have a bible, use your cell phone and download the You version Bible App until you get a bible, and if you don't have a church, please search for a good bible teaching, truth speaking church. Pray and God will send you to the right church, he will answer. I am so proud of you and I would like to welcome you to the family.
