Ecclesiastes 5:1 - "Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil." When your foundation is right, you will be ready for what God has for you in every message. Don't let a distraction make you miss what God has planned just for you.  - Phil Dann

1 Samuel 2:17 - "Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord  for men abhorred the offering of the Lord." There is a great responsibility to keep the House of the Lord sacred and to be serious about those things that God tells us are important from His word.  Men in this passage obeyed God even though those in charge of the temple abused the role they had been given. Church should be a place away from all the abuses and excesses of the world.  A sacred place where to the best of our ability we are serving Christ for His glory not for our own. -Jason Brothers

Nehemiah 8:3b - "And the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law."  I heard a preacher say recently, that it is so important for us to prepare ourselves for hearing the Word of God preached by confessing sin and finding quiet time to focus before going to church.  So often times we rush into church like it is another gym, restaurant, or grocery store and then wonder why we get nothing out of it.  This year go to church with a purpose of receiving a blessing because you have prepared your heart. - Jason Brothers

Psalm 122:1 - "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord." As fathers and husbands, it's our responsibility to set this example for our families. They will be excited about what we truly enjoy!  - Matthew Stephens
