the miracle of coming to church

Every day, I invite people to come to church. It may seem like a repetive, mindless habit. But in reality, church is an enriching, miraculous experience every week. It truly is a MIRACLE that we have the opportunity to go to church every week.

In Moroni 6, we are taught that we should go to church to be "nurtured by the good word of God." Which may sound boring, but it's not. Going to church is like free food for the soul - a limitless buffet of knowledge and enlightenment. Meetings are not meant to put us to sleep. Meetings are opportunities to be personally instructed and guided by the spirit. If we come to church prepared, God will give us guidance, knowledge, and answers to all of our questions. We can find answers to our deepest questions, worries, and fears  by simply attending a meeting.

We also have the opportunity to renew our baptismal covenants that we made with our Heavenly Father. Every week we make mistakes. But no matter how big or small the mistake, we can become clean again by partaking of the sacrament. We can start each week with a perfectly clean slate. If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.

So I, once again, invite one and all, to come partake of the spiritual buffet, come find answers to your questions, come start the week with a clean slate. come and experience a miracle.
