Get Out of the Pews

By Tatiana Whigham

So many times, we as believers, have a tendency to fall into tradition rather than in a real meaning relationship with God. Yeah, we dress-up for church on Sunday mornings, clap our hands all the way
through the service, and still walk outside of the church doors cursing our neighbors, turning our backs on those in need, and ignoring things that really matter.

We've mastered church on Sundays, but what about being the church from Monday to Saturday. What if we applied the same teachings that we learn on Sunday mornings to our daily life? What if we as believers in Christ could love our neighbors as ourselves? Forgiveness would become less of a struggle and compassion would actually become sincere. What if we could bear with one another in the arms of mercy and grace? We would be able to look beyond one’s fault and love one another unconditionally.

My point is this, faith without works is dead. God did not save us to save ourselves. He sent us to be a light to those around. If we take our place as believers, God’s grace will abound. Learning of Christ is good, but living like Christ takes real work.

Tatiana Whigham

Tatiana Whigham is currently still a teacher at heart; Tatiana is a local financial professional. Having been born as an Army Brat, Tatiana has had the sheer pleasure of meeting people from all different walks of life. Being born in Germany herself, she had not only the opportunity to see the world, but to also see life through the eyes of a different perspective. It is in the midst of these very experiences that Tatiana began to write. Tatiana’s writings are meant to expose the true emotion, fears, and pressures that we do our best to hide on a daily basis. Through writings such as these, we hope that this really encourages someone to pray a little harder and to have faith a little longer.

Author’s Notes

Greetings to each and every one of you! I’m so glad that you’ve taken out both the time and the opportunity to read this piece. Of that, I’m grateful. I truly hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.

Now I’ve been traveling with the ministry for quite some time now, and it deeply saddens me that so many people follow the same religious routines day in and day out. Praise the Lord on Sunday mornings and sometimes on Wednesday nights, and the rest of the week many of us unconsciously begin to tune God out. We become just like the Pharisees in Luke 6 where we proclaim (more or less with our actions rather than our words) that Jesus is only Lord on Sunday mornings, and that He only has the power to deliver inside of the four walls that we call church. We only comfort people on Sundays. We only encourage and communicate with our neighbors on bible nights. But where is the healing, the words of wisdom, and the love of Jesus shown to one another every other day of the week?

People still need you to lift them up in prayer on Tuesdays. The sick and shut-in still need to see your faces on Thursdays. Our children still need spiritual guidance on Fridays. It’s a known fact that people can go to church with the same people for years on end and still aren’t able to recall one another’s names, birthdays, likes and
