Stand UP Church!

Stand UP Church, we've got to get to our feet!

The word for “standing up” and “standing” was used extensively in the O.T., over 1000 times this expression is used in one capacity or another…. many times the entire nation of Israel was called to “stand before the Lord” in solemn assemblies…. The phrase “stand before Him” is an expression of dedication, allegiance, and service. Joseph stood before Pharoah, David before Saul, etc, etc and so the believer stands before the Lord in a position of obedience, respect, and readiness to serve.  When at church and the music starts, do most of us even know why we stand? Is it because someone told you to?  Is it blind habit, something we do because… well… it’s what we always do?  Maybe it’s that we see others stand and we don’t want to be the odd one out… and if no one told you to – would you stand anyway?  Why would you do that?  The wise take the time to carefully consider their motivations... Do you stand for righteous reasons?... What are your reasons for standing, or not?
