Mark Moss pastor, Lutheran Church, Terrace Bay The following article was reprinted by permission of the original author, Rev. Eric Vuorinen, a former pastor from Bethel Lutheran Church in Thunder Bay. I recently read an interesting article with the provocative title, "Is There Life After Church?" In the article the author says, "One thing is certain about many Christian families; they arc Church-gocrs. Some are there everytime the doors open, while others faithfully attend once a week. But another thing is just as sure. Simply taking '---- the troops to Church docs not guarantce a strong Christ- centered outlook on life." How true that is. We can keep the pews warm on Sunday and still have cold hearts by Monday. There is a difference between being religious and spiritual. Some liken going to Church on Sunday to a trip to the filling station to 'tank up', hoping the fill-up will last until 'the next Sunday. I am not sure this is a very apt or adequate comparison. A better approach sees Church-going as but one of many parts- an important part to be surc- of a continual spiritual journey. Our spiritual growth (as opposed to religious exercisc) depends on our remaining close to God each day, hungering for an understanding and application of God's word to every life situation. The best place to start is at home. We cannot afford (spiritually-speaking) to confine our spiritual growth to the four walls of our Churches. The Old Testament lesson for the Second Sunday after Penetecost helps us all understand this better. Moses writes: "Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds...teach them, to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." (Deut. 11: 18, 19. Sce also Deut. 5:6ff). The Israclites were not to have a Saturday-go-to- meetin' kind of religion. Instead the parents were instructed to share God's Word with the family, in the family, at home and out of the home, at rest time and at work- at any and every appropriate time and place. Notice that this Scripture says nothing about Tabernacle attendance. It is a foregone conclusion that God's people would attend worship regularly. For spiritual growth to take place involved more than a casual acquaintance with God's Word. It meant reading, knowing, believing and applying the Word to life day by day. If we were to transform our mcal times, our Icisure time, our travel time and even our TV time into opportunities to teach (share) God's Word diligently with members of our families, we would experience an on- going spiritual growth, the likes of which we could not have anticipated. Because families do spend time together in the above- mentioned ways, the possibilities for spiritual nurture and growth arc there. It is just a matter of implementing the plan, which means consciously and purposely applying God's Word to family life. For example: -Iessons of forgiveness can be taught aftcr angry and harsh words have been spoken; : -when a difficult choice is to be made, the question can be raised, "What would Jesus do?"; -prayfulness can be taught through spontancous, on- the-spot petitions for family needs; -thanksgiving can be taught, be recognizing each day that God is the giver of every good and perfect gift, and then thanking Him; -when you have the chance in a discussion, bring God and Jesus into it by eliminating such phrases as "mother nature" and "luck" or "what a coincidence"; with phrases like "God's creation" and "the Lord must have been with us on that one." Explain new things to children in terms that cause them to seehow God is involved in our everyday lives. We need the weckdays of our lives to teach and Ieam these lessons, fixing His word in our hearts and minds. And when we do we will no Jonger think of Church as the last chance for gas on a seven-day journcy. Instead, it will be the high point of a weck spent close ee eS ee 8 eee On the Slate----
