Today’s Thought “A Praying Grandmother” G. Ward 1 John 1 3 “What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” Recently, I was given over to some statistical data regarding young people attending church and while it may have been alarming to some (for failure to assess their own consideration when younger), I know of its science that more seeks to spur campaigns of vigilance (i.e. incentives outside of urging parental responsibility – cf. Deut.6:4-6). Church decline reveals what’s in the heart and whereas questions appearing sincere that ask why attendance (weekly/weakly) is necessary and whereas seasoned Christians immediately adjourn to singular passages (Heb. 10:25) with demands of compliance, it’s misappropriated discipleship; because the beholder of Truth failed to take them to the Throne where pardoning exists. If the Apostle John were living in our era, he would further his message to any by insisting, “You have to know HIM for yourself!”
