[John 3_19-21]

Attending church regularly does not make you a Christian.

I work in retail and one of the most dreaded days of the week is Sundays. The local upstate gentry all in their Sunday bests, are often the rudest, most unhappy customers all week.

I try every day to show and share the love Christ gave for me to everyone I meet. I will ask some of these Sunday shoppers; "what did the pastor teach on today?". Very few can with any passion recall the message they just sat threw.

I in noway wish to forsake the gathering of the saints, but todays dog and pony club houses are not the basis of my daily/weekly walk with my Saviour.

1:00pm on Sunday had cars wrapped around the store I worked in. That was the time I learned when all the megachurches let out.

I hear you.

I have a friend who told me that his church attendance was tertiary in his walk with Christ.

It is good to go but if that's the mainstay of your Christian walk, then something is seriously amiss.

What would things look like if Satan really took control of a city? Over a half century ago, Presbyterian minister Donald Grey Barnhouse offered his own scenario in his weekly sermon that was also broadcast nationwide on CBS radio.

Barnhouse speculated that if Satan took over Philadelphia, all of the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and pristine streets would be filled with tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The children would say, “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am,” and the churches would be full every Sunday . . . where Christ is not preached.
