Don't Miss Church

Don’t Miss Church

“ … not staying away from our meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near …” Hebrews 10:25 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

Here is a little funny to lighten your day after a long week. It will make you chuckle – but hopefully it doesn’t describe you …

Don’t wait until the hearse hauls you off to church. If you do …
-- You will go, regardless of the weather.
-- You will go, regardless of the condition of your body.
-- There will be beautiful flowers there, but you won’t enjoy them.
-- You will go, regardless of how your family feels.
-- The minister may say many good things, but they will do you no good.
-- There will be beautiful music, but you won’t hear it.
-- There will be heartfelt prayers, but they will not touch your heart.
-- There will be friends and relatives there, but you won’t worship with them.
-- You will go, no matter how many hypocrites are there.
-- You will go, no matter how much you are needed at home or at work.
-- You will receive no blessing from the service.
-- You won’t feel concerned about your clothes.
-- You will never have to decide about attending church again!
Aren’t you glad to be alive and well and full of zest and able to choose to go to church? – Walter Nuessle

Walter got it right! How about you? Don’t miss spending time with the Lord and His people tomorrow. – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick
