Don't Stay Away From Church Because:

• You are poor-- there is no admission charge.
• It rains-- you go work in the rain.
• It is hot-- it is hot where you live too.
• It is cold-- a warm welcome awaits you here.
• No one invited you-- people go to movies without being begged.
• The pastor didn't shake your hand--the umpire at the ball game never shakes your hand either.
• We have an emotional religion-- Did you ever attend a hockey game?
• Your job makes you tired--aren't you glad you have one?
• You have small children--thank God!
• There are hypocrites in the church-- you associate with them every day. You should be used to them by now.
• You have company--Invite them along or tell them when you'll be back.
• The standard of the church is too high-- if you think ours is high, look at the Bible!
• You have plenty of time--are you sure?
