Be totally focused and seek first God’s kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6: 33). Do not allow the cares, pleasures, and attractions of this life to side-track you and pull you away from the local church. Attend with enthusiasm and be a worker for the Lord. Encourage others to do right, assist in any way you can, and submit to the elders. Satan cannot negatively influence you when you are in God’s climate, he must have you in his environment.
