Jesus Did Not Die On The Cross To Make It Possible For Members Of His Church To:

• Sleep in on Sunday and miss Bible study and worship.

• Stay at home when we have out of town guests.

• Attend sporting or social event during the week and regularly neglect Bible study and worship.

• Talk to people about politics and not about the value of their soul.

• Wear themselves out working all day and be too tired to attend Sunday and Wednesday night services.

• Pray with the church, but not by themselves in their home.

• To shop, bank, and recreate when “sick” but not attend Bible class and worship.

• Practically never miss work, even when ill; but allow a “small” headache or other ailment to prevent attendance at Bible study and worship.

• Read the paper or watch the news, but not open the Bible during the week.

• Use the phone to talk to neighbors and family, but never use it to invite them to activities of the church or to share the gospel.

• Lay aside money to spend on eating out, recreation and vacations; but throw leftovers into the collection plate on Sunday.
