\"Luke\"<\/a>We are reading Chapter 14 of the book of Luke.<\/p>\n

What do we give up for God?\u00a0 We see a parable where people were invited, but they had an excuse.\u00a0 They were busy doing something else of importance to them.\u00a0 We can no longer set Sundays aside to be with the church, and we have \u201cgood\u201d and reasonable excuses.\u00a0 God calls us to forsake all! In verse 26 there is a list we see a few times in scripture, to hate father, mother, wife, children, brothers and sisters.\u00a0 We know this is in comparison to Christ.\u00a0 But really in our culture what do we say no to?\u00a0 The church is God\u2019s design and is where He placed you and me to be.\u00a0 The Church service is an indication of how we follow God.\u00a0 It is clear in scripture that He told us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together.\u00a0 If we do not sacrifice to be here where we know He wants us, what are really forsaking to follow Christ in other areas of our life?\u00a0 I agree it is a heart thing, but remember in yesterday\u2019s reading the heart needs to repent.<\/p>\n
