Why is it easier for folks to wake up, not feel good and go to Work But Miss Church??

Why is it easier for folks to wake up, not feel good and go to Work But Miss Church that same night...and go to work the next day?






























The Answer: Because they are paid for being at Work...





To Increase Church Attendance and Growth we need to pay folks for being there....



Just a thought...

Clearing throat...

Adjusting voice up half an octave...

Putting on a liberal, grace-filled expression...

Because you HAVE to go to work. You don't HAVE to go to church in the same sense. But you should!

It's best to go with a "want to/desire to" attitude but if that's not always there then going because "this is the right thing to do" will suffice.

Setting good habits and good examples for children is a good thing. If you're going to church with a grumbling griping attitude, don't be surprised if your kids pick that up.
