TEN LITTLE CHRISTIANS

TEN LITTLE CHRISTIANS

10 little Christians came to church all the time;
one fell out with the preacher; then there were nine.
9 little Christians stayed up late;
one overslept on Sunday, then there were eight.
8 little Christians on their way to heaven;
one took the low road, then there were seven.
7 little Christians, chirping like chicks;
one didn't like singing, then there were six.
6 little Christians seemed very much alive;
one took a vacation, then there were five.
5 little Christians pulling for heaven's shore;
one stopped to rest awhile, then there were four.
4 little Christians each busy as a bee;
one got his feelings hurt, then there were three.
3 little Christians couldn't decide what to do;
one couldn't have his way, then there were two.
2 little Christians each won one more;
now don't you see, two and two make four.
4 little Christians worked early and late,
each brought one, now there were eight.
8 little Christians, if they double as before ....
in just seven Sundays we'd have thousand twenty-four.
In this little jingle there is a lesson true --
you belong either to the building or to the wrecking crew!

(From WHO AM I IN CHRIST by Dr. Neil Anderson)

"And He gave some . . . For the equipping of the saints for the work of the service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we ALL attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of which belongs to the fullness of Christ."

Now to which crew do YOU belong?
