"Get Away" Weekend
I am concerned about the increasing number of Christians who appear to
have little sense of obligation to the local church of which they are members,
especially with reference to being present for regular assemblies. To be sure,
most of us will find it necessary to be away on week-ends occasionally, which is
understandable. But, the problem lies with those who deliberately and fre-
quently seek to get away on weekend pleasure trips without seriously consider-
ing the consequences, either to themselves, to their family, or to the church. The
get-away weekender may be getting away from more than he intends or realizes.
In the first place, the absentee member and his family get away from all
the advantages afforded in a regular Bible class attendance. In most Bible stud-
ies the element of continuity means much to the learning process. If skipping
over certain passages or even chapters in a haphazard manner is poor teaching?
What makes it good learning? Yet this is essentially what happens in the case of
students with irregular attendance. Such gaps, plus the enriching study and
preparation that should precede these classes are bound to seriously affect ones
learning and growth, not to mention his attitude. Frequently interrupting studies
practically guarantees an impairment of interest. Therefore, it is not hard to see
the adverse snow-balling effects of irregular Bible class attendance and the real
costs of weekend pleasure.
Furthermore, what absenteeism does to Bible class interest, it also does
to spiritual interest in general. Less involvement with the local work and wor-
ship not only expresses a lack of concern, it perpetuates it in self as well as in
others. Are not we, as the Thessalonians, examples to all that believe? (1 Thess
l:7) If all members followed the example of the weekend get-away brethren,
what would become of the local church? Surely what is right for a few cannot
be wrong for many. Mature Christians cannot ignore the influence of their ex-
ample, especially among weak brethren. If it’s not important for them to be

here, why do I need to be here? - can become a big question for the babe
in Christ and a legitimate one. When our getting-away means getting
away from being a good example and the right kind of influence it in-
volves immeasurable costs, the kind that cannot be compensated for with
pleasure.
Accordingly, the place of every single member is unique and im-
portant as a part of the church (1 Cor. 12) God says so, and the effective-
ness of any local church depends on its members seeing this as so. As a
God-ordained relationship, it is not one to be discounted or to get-away
from. Let the teacher and student be prepared and in his regular place at
the appointed times. Let all members work and worship together as of-
ten as possible, being tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor pre-
ferring one another and we will be mutually encouraged to quit this get-
ting-away from our responsibilities and from the rich blessings associated
with them.

“...but in everything by prayer and supplication

Every time
There is a song that the youth sing called Every time (I am not sure who wrote
it) and the chorus goes like this:
But I don’t know why, so many things
Seem to get in the way, of seeing my God’s glory
But I try every day, to see and to thank Him
For all the things He’s given me.
As I look back over the past year of being here in Deer Park, going to camps,
retreats, Bible Classes, sermons, and many other activities or lessons I have heard or
given, the first two lines of the chorus above seem to be a majority of the ideas pre-
sented. We get so distracted by the world and its desires we lose focus on what needs to
be our top priority and that is God, Jesus, the Church. I know that seems like three, but
really we can’t separate any of them. In John 17:15-17 we have Jesus praying for the
Disciples and in that He shows us that God put the church in the world, to be a light, to
be a place of comfort, joy and peace, but Satan has put the world into the church. We
see it today in our congregations. People are more about “me” and less about HIM!
God’s glory is there, what seems to take it away from us are our own worldly desires
and wants. When other things become more important than God and doing His will,
then Satan has put the world in us.
Paul even talks about this in Romans 6 when he states “should we continue to
sin so grace may increase? May it never be!” My church family, we need to get back to
letting us, the church be a place that shows we not only think about Him in all we do,
but praise Him for all His blessings and leave the world outside!
For the Kingdom,
Jason
