The Worst Consequence of Skipping Church

I always encourage people to invite folks to Church. I tell them to pick them up and take them to Church. I am sadden when I ask people to raise their hands when I ask them “If you invited someone to Church today, please raise your hand.” Not many ever raise their hand. What are people afraid of? Rejection, I guess………..To shy? I know some Pastors who will call members when they are not in Church to make sure they are okay.

Written by Tim Challies in CHURCHLEADERS:

We are a culture of convenience, of personalization, of individualism. We have a million ways of customizing our lives to perfectly suit our every preference. When things are difficult, we think little of pulling away from responsibilities, of reorienting our lives away from whatever causes inconvenience. This can even extend to something as good and as central as our commitment to the local church.

All of us who are involved in local churches have seen people waver and wander in their commitment. Most of us have had to extend the call to someone, to urge them back to participation, back to the worship services. When we do this, we often turn to our go-to text, Hebrews 10:24-25
