Community

When thinking about a certain community you pertain too, it is hard to just choose one. We all have a designated community assigned to us by one means or the other. My community is the Church community. Now just because I said the word Church, do not assume religion.  My church is a community of people that gather to three days a week to give praise to God. I mentioned before not to assume religion, because it is not a religion or a sect. It is a faith. The only reason the community is strong amongst believers is because of our faith in God.  There is all type of people who attend my church community. There are big families, small ones; young adults and all the way down to new born attend church.  Every service we gather together and begin with the first part of the service and that is the praise. The praise consists of complete devotion to God through songs of worship song between the whole congregations. There is a certain group of people thought that come to the alter and play an instrument to add music to the praise.  The instruments can consist of an electric guitar, piano, bass guitar, drums, and any other instrument of choice.  Then after thirty minutes to sometimes an hour of praise, we collect tithes. Tithes are welcome to help the Church grow and are an act of obedience towards God because He asked for his people to give ten percent of their income to bless the church. After this, the Pastor of the church comes to the alter and begins the sermon. The pastor preaches word from the Bible.  The preaching could last from an hour to an hour and thirty minutes.  The service is concluded after the preaching. The church service pleases the church community. We are brothers and sisters of the same faith through belief of Jesus Christ and his death and resurrection on the cross of Calvary two thousand years ago. There is no obligation among members that attend church to believe the shard faith. The majority of the congregation attends church because of their personal conviction. So the choice is in the eye of the beholder better said.  There are so many benefits from attending church. The outcome of our life invested in this shared belief is greater than our simple minds can comprehend. For example, I mentioned before the tithes. When someone tithes in church before the eyes of God, that person is later on blessed. For example, the giver can be blessed by receiving a check of money or a donation funded to him at a random time in life as a gift from God because of the persons obedience and consistency of tithing in church. Prayer in the church is another. When we pray for each other in the name of Jesus Christ as a community, great things happen. People are healed. People are liberated from debt, insanity, anxiety, and personal problems someone may be battling within the moment like addiction to drugs and alcohol. As far as dislikes, problems, and disadvantages, there aren’t any. If anything it would be that there is not enough time in the week to meet more than three times during those seven days.
