Don't Forget Church on Your Vacation

            Summer is almost upon us.  It’s amazing how fast this year is moving, in just a little while our High School Senior will graduate, finalizing a milestone in their lives.  Our children and youth are looking to some summer time fun and maybe some vacation time, either here at home or somewhere on some distant shore or even in the foothills of the mountains. 

            Remember as this time of year brings to mind long awaited vacations, we never take a vacation from God.  As we all scatter to the four-winds plan out your vacation time to include some “God-time.”  It is amazing how many churches are around vacation spots such as the beach and yes even in the mountains.  Make your vacation special by planning on visiting a church.  The Scriptures are clear regarding our Church time in Hebrews 10:23-25 it tell us to,

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

We need to take to heart this message, we know by the signs of the times it want be long till Jesus comes, we are to gather with fellow believers to encourage one another.

            Be intentional when planning your vacations to visit a Church.  Many Churches have websites so you can check and see if they are of like-minded-faith.  I promise you if you go, God will have a message for you and you will discover there are Bible-believing-Baptist even in vacation hot-spots. Take it as an opportunity to greet them in love from a Sister-Church in the Faith from Startex, South Carolina named Tucapau. And don’t be surprised if they ask you to “say that again…can you spell that again.”

            May God bless you as you seek to serve the Lord.  Remember, no matter where you go, there you are, and so is God.

Blessings,
