Top 10 Reasons People Go To Church

I am a part of a men’s group that meets weekly. We sort of take turns bringing a short message each week. A good friend, Doug Crum, who is a Pastor at 4th & Elm Church of Christ in Sweetwater, TX, brought this last week. It’s funny and worth your time. Enjoy!

Top 10 Reasons People Go to Church

10. Free babysitting!

9. Everybody’s doing it.

8. Old habits are hard to break.

7. There’s nothing good on Sunday morning TV.

6. Four words: all you can eat (between prayer breakfast, Pot luck dinners & ice cream suppers, going to church is like living on a cruise ship).

5. To show off my new outfit.

4. I want to be a good person.

3. To catch up on the latest gossip.

2. I don’t want to go to hell.

1. God has showered his creation with His unconditional love and I want to respond to that gift by praising Him, learning more about Him, and by surrounding myself with people who will encourage one another in our walk with Him.

Smartphone User Stereotypes

I thought this was hilarious, despite being an iphone user. I saw it one CNET’s Technically Incorrect, but it was originally on C-Section Comics.

The Feasts of the Lord Redux

I recently taught a discipleship training class at our church entitled The Feasts of the Lord: Jesus Fulfills the Feasts. It was a three week (1x wk.) course.

I know I was blessed by and learned more from the study, preparation and teaching than anyone listening. Even so, I have an opportunity for an encore at the Sweetwater Aglow November meeting. It will be November 13, 10am-3pm at the Holiday Inn Express in Sweetwater. Lunch will be provided free of charge, and everyone is invited to attend. I hope to see you there.

One of these days, I will get around to posting about this.

Guest Post on Monday Morning Review

I once again had the good fortune of writing our pastor’s Monday Morning Review yesterday.

A lot of great things are happening at EFC, so it was much more of a recap and look ahead. If you have a minute, give it a look.

The Roscoe Hard Times Blog

I just found this blog (The Roscoe Hard Times) about my hometown on facebook, so I had to share.

It’s fairly new, but all you old Plowboys out there can keep up with the happenings of Roscoe, TX, USA from the comfort of your laptop or smartphone.

Give it a look.

Giving Away Tickets to Seventh Day Slumber Concert

I’m giving away two tickets to the Take Everything Tour, which includes Seventh Day Slumber, The Letter Black and KJ52.

The concert is October 17, 2010 @ 7pm in Sweetwater, Texas at the Sweetwater High School Auditorium. It is probably the biggest concert in recent memory in Sweetwater.

Tickets are $5 in advance or $10 at the door, or, if you’re lucky, you can win them by clicking “Like” on my campaign facebook page, “Share” the link, and let me know you did so in the comment section on the campaign facebook page.

Anyone is eligible, but if you’re not going to be in the Sweetwater, TX area on that date, pass this info along to someone who might be.

You can also purchase tickets through Emmanuel Fellowship Church.

I want to plug my cousin-in-law’s blog, Life in Mute. It’s a blog about hearing impiaredness, life and deafness-related issues.

When you get a chance, give it a look.
