Remember the Porky Pig cartoons? They would always end with Porky stuttering out those words. When he said that, we knew the cartoon was over, there were no more expectations. In a song by Peggy Lee, life seems to end that way, with no more expectations. She sings of all the things she has seen and done and in the end she says, “Is That All There Is?” She goes on to sing that if that’s all there is, in so many words, let’s ‘eat, drink and be merry’.
Many people go to church on a Sunday, and they see three-piece suits, golden crosses; people sing songs, participate in the offering, big choirs, and a message, hopefully about God. They think ‘Is that all there is?’
There is more to life; there is more to church than what happens on a Sunday morning. The ‘more’ to life is conditional to the ‘more’ on Sunday morning. And the ‘more’ on Sunday morning is conditional on our relationship with God. Is your relationship with Him on your terms or is it on His? As Christians, we are in church on Sunday morning because God changed our lives. That change is reflected in our daily living.
He changed our lives because we received Jesus as our Savior. Life takes on new meaning. Church takes on new meaning, because we’re no longer the person we used to be.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold. All things have become new.” (2 Cor. 5:17
