44. Church Myth Debunking Session Four: 120

45. #1: Everybody in church is a hypocrite. No, everybody in church isn’t a hypocrite, and your own negativity doesn’t make it a reality. #2: The church doesn’t meet my needs. Lots of people in the church are trying hard to meet your needs. Are you looking past these folks or for them? 10 (Mythical) Reasons Not To Go To Church

46. Session Four: 120 #3: Church takes up too much time. Sure, church takes time. But so does watching the golf channel, NFL, NASCAR, and American Idol. And which is more important? #4: They’re always asking for money. No, they’re not always asking for money. And besides, if every guy gave what he should give, the church wouldn’t need to ask for money. 10 (Mythical) Reasons Not To Go To Church

47. Session Four: 120 #5: I don’t like the preacher. The preacher is trying to get through to you. How hard are you trying to let him get through? #6: I had a bad experience in the church. No place is perfect. You’ve had bad experiences everywhere: at work, at home, at school, and just about every place in between. But you probably didn’t quit work or drop out of school at the first sign of trouble, and if you did give up, the common denominator is you. 10 (Mythical) Reasons Not To Go To Church

49. Session Four: 120 #9: The Sunday School classes are boring. Your church obviously needs a few more good teachers. By the way, when was the last time you taught? #10: Someone sat in my pew last week. Your pew? Maybe the trespasser thought it was God’s pew. 10 (Mythical) Reasons Not To Go To Church
