Excuses

I read some statistics the  other day and thought it was  worth sharing.
Someone has estimated that  the average member of the  church has heard 6,000  sermons, 8,000 congregational  songs and led zero people to  Jesus Christ!

Here is the way the problem stacks up in a Church with

• 200 members: 20 are too old to work, that leaves  
• 180 left to work. But of the rest, 18 are too timid to accept much  responsibility. That leaves
• 162 left to work, but 12 are out of town or away for school. That leaves 
• 150 left to work, but 25 of those work long hours six or seven days a week. So, that leaves 
• 125 left to work, but 20 of those are tied down with children. That leaves 
• 105 left to work, but 20 of those are unable to work because of poor health. That leaves 
• 85 left to work, but 55 are unfaithful, do not attend regularly, or don’t care.... That leaves 
• 30 left to work.20 of those will attend church...but they refuse to work.... That leaves 
• 10 left to work.8 of those are very tired of doing all the work and have asked to be relieved. That leaves 
• 2 people – you and me... But I’m too busy with other things, so you do the work. 

There is always an excuse if you look for one. But the truth of the matter is - no matter how young or how old, how busy or how tied down - we were never meant to be spectators. When Jesus told his disciples be lights of the world (Matthew 5:16) and to go make disciples (Matthew 28:19), he was talking to us too. So the question for you is, what have you been doing for Christ lately - or are you just sitting on the sidelines making excuses?

Where "U" Are Needed...

"U" are needed in Bible ST_DY, but not in IGNORANCE.
"U" are needed in S_PPORT, but not in NEGLECT.
"U" are needed in _NITY, but not in DIVISION.
"U" are needed in D_TY, but not in IRRESPONSIBILITY.
"U" are needed in B_ILDING, but not in TEARING DOWN.
"U" are needed in CH__RCH!!

Total Commitment

The late Sam Shoemaker stated, "To be a Christian means to give as much of myself as I can to as much of Jesus Christ as I know."
