You are never the same after visiting a place for the first time. It is for this reason that people are asked to be careful about where they go to so that they don't end up in trouble. Baptist church Coward is different; you can never be in trouble because you went there. Instead, you stand a better opportunity to bring blessings upon yourself, both physical and spiritual blessings and making Heaven more easily. In addition to all these, you will also have health and social benefits for attending the church.

When you are in the church, you flee from the temptation of going to the wrong place. Several youths have ended up in jail simply because they were lured by friends to be at the wrong place. The best way to avoid temptation from friends you don't trust is by being somewhere you know they won't penetrate. Instead of figuring out how to say no to their demands, find yourself in God's house and the temptation to do evil will pass you by.

Because of the church, people have lived longer than they expected. Miracles that could only have happened in a place when The Almighty dwells have been benefited by people who already gave up hope of living. Some have confessed how their HIV was cleared after taking the Holy Communion and others have been miraculously healed of certain ailments beyond the explanation of any doctor.

It is also a place to be encouraged. Apart from the lives of others in the church, another source of encouragement among worshippers is the Bible. Those who feel like giving up on life do not know how they suddenly get the strength to persevere till they finally overcome.

Christians should always seek edification for their spirit so as to be sure of their standing with God. This is important because the Bible makes it clear that the day of the Lord will come like a thief; this can be rapture or death. Edification in the church comes usually during worship. As members lift their hands in unison, God sends His spirit and you too are blessed in the process. The songs sang that moment can never be forgotten in a hurry as you also try to sing it even in your personal quiet time.

Being a member of the Baptist church is an opportunity to please God by doing His work. Although God prefers obedience to sacrifice, he still values sacrifice and blesses every bit of it. Members who have sacrificed one thing or the other to other members who were in genuine need of something can attest to this fact.

God cherishes it when people serve their fellows. In fact, this was the message Jesus tried to portray in the washing of the apostles' feet. So when people serve in the congregation, they serve God too. This can be as ushering members in or handling bible studies.

Some parents are yet to understand that the best way to train up a child that is a Christian is by allowing him to go to church. Those who even understand are the ones that enroll their children into the Sunday school and plead with their teachers to always ensure that the children come often by asking of their whereabouts. The children are left with mothers and fathers whose personal stories make the children understand the purpose of life.
