Just … Go To Church!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 48:9 Within your temple, oh God, we meditate on your unfailing love. O-bservation: For King David, the temple of God in his day represented mental recall. Every time he entered the house of God, he would remember how much God loved him. A-pplication: I'm not sure why it is, but something happens to people who go to church. Perhaps they've had a bad week. Maybe something happened to them in their normal way of living that completely threw them off balance. Maybe a relative was discovered to have a terminal illness, or worse yet died....

I Need To Get To Church

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Song of Songs 4:6 Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of incense. O-bservation: These are the words of Solomon’s bride. We know this because he immediately responds in the next verse. It appears that the Mountain of Myrrh is actually the Mountain of Moriah, which in Israeli history is a holy place. It would have been an Old Testament equivalent to the New Testament church. So many theologians agree that Solomon’s bride needed to get to the house of the Lord...
