A season is a unique period of time when we do specific things. We only do those things during that season. We think it strange when people do things out of season. But in church we forget this rule.
Christmas is a unique season of the year. Unique food, unique music, unique celebrations that we only do at Christmas time. Put a tree up in June and your family will think you are crazy!
Conference is a unique period of time for our Fellowship. Whether in Prescott or in one of the regional conferences, we only have conference at conference time. We have conference crowds. We hear conference sermons. We go all in for the week of conference. We do not have conference year round.
When you live somewhere with changing seasons you schedule most of your outreaches during the milder weather. You do not go door to door in a blizzard or in a monsoon rainstorm. You may shiver through an outdoor concert, but visitors will be home and cozy in their warm clothes. You may brave the blazing heat, but most people will stay in the AC.
Marriage goes through seasons. Families go through seasons. There is school season and football season and ski season. It doesn't take a PhD to understand that things work best when done in season.
God is always fresh and in season. Today is a good day to get saved.
