It relates real life experiences that illustrate the themes of our current culture.

Jesus prophesied His return to planet Earth. And He promised that His return would bring genuine peace — an end to the wars, diseases and financial turmoil increasingly plaguing our world. But when will He come? For how many more years must we wait? We do not need to guess. Your Bible gives specific benchmarks of prophecy.

The Antichrist is coming! In fact, there is every reason to believe that he is alive today, and that the keys to his coming reign are now being put into place. Will you be among the very few to be able to recognize the Antichrist for who and what he is? You will—if you watch for seven vital signs!

More and more people are using online church services as a means to worship and hear God’s word. Is it O.K. to interact this way regarding our church involvement?

Let me give you a brief background about myself. I have been a Christian for over 20 years and have been involved in several ministries related to the church from leading Bible studies, serving on church boards and participating in short-term mission trips. Have also had the honor of leading worship. I feel it is important to have a understanding of what God calls us to when He commands us to be connected to a church.

Genuine Reasons For Using Online Church Services?

Let’s start with, what is your motive or reason for using a Online service? Are you disabled or or unable to get to a church due to physical restrictions? Maybe you have job that does not allow you to get to church when the services are being held. Whatever the reason, there are legitimate ones for not being able to make it there.

If this is the case for you, Online church services can be a great way for you to have a time of worship and exposure to God’s word. As you know, God is very capable of using numerous means to spread the gospel and make Himself known. And the Internet Is a wonderful way to do that. When you did a search I am sure you found several church services for you to participate in.

Reasons a Believer Should Not Use Online Church Services

It is sad to say that here in America many folks use these services because they simply do not want to make the effort to go Sunday mornings. It is much easier to turn on the tube or computer and just watch or listen to a service. You don’t have to deal with people or drive in lousy weather. Maybe you just don’t like to sing. Is this you?

I encourage you to look deep into your soul and ask yourself, am I making excuses, am I just being lazy or stubborn? You may be thinking that as long as you perform some sort of religious duty on Sunday that all will be right with God. Be careful if this is the case for God judges the heart and motive of us all. He knows full well if we are playing games or not.

Are You Part Of The Body Of Christ?

If you are a true believer, you are a member of the church body. So if you are using Online church services the physical church body is missing a part. God has blessed you with spiritual gifts to be used in the function of the church. The church as a whole needs you to be exercising those gifts within the body to help make it complete while doing the work of the Lord. I can say wholeheartedly that you will find more satisfaction, more joy being at church instead of just watching church.

Is The Lack Of Income Stopping You From Going To Church?

As a final note I understand there are a lot of folks out there who simply don’t have the money due to being confined to the house for a host of reasons or are just out of work. I would like to say there is hope for you. You can not only use the computer for Online church services but earn some decent money as well. There are legitimate online businesses you can do that cost less than $2 a day.
