“I can do the “church” thing –

I need to do the “Christ” thing.”

(i.e. – love, witness, etc.)

Have you gotten yourself into a rut?

Are you just in the routine of serving God?

---

Its Sunday, yes, we are able to go to church. Yes, we’re excited, but perhaps we are just doing it out of routine or habit?

Have we lost our first love and our passion for God and the service we do for Him?

---

Have a look at the above quote again: “I can do the “church” thing – I need to do the “Christ” thing.”

(This can be particularly true of second generation Christians or if saved for a length of time.)

“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord and not unto men.”

Col. 3:23

Shortly after waking up this morning, this song started going through my head:

“O it is wonderful to be a Christian;
O it is wonderful to be God’s child…”

John W. Peterson

It is such a great song!

What truth is contained in this song!!

---

Verse two opens with the words –

“I can go directly to the Lord in prayer.
He has told me I may boldly enter there…”

Wow! What doctrine is contained in those mere two lines!!

What an incredible song!

Where to find:

Many hymnals will have this song. Some examples: Majesty Hymnal #518 Rejoice Hymnal #463

I ran across this hymn and truly found it amazing!

I was looking for a piece that was majestic and gave glory to God.

The original was written by Isaac Watts; however, I do not recommend that version. The wording located here is the only version of sorts that I would recommend.
