MONDAY MORNING MOMENTS Mar. 9, 1998 Vol. III Number 8

How can you eat an egg without cracking the shell? Give up! Have someone else crack it for you.

Now this little corny joke reminds me of some church people. They want the benefits the church has to offer without sharing the responsibilities. they want revival as long as someone else does the praying. They want ministries to continue as long as somebody else does the volunteering. They want programs, but don’t ask me to pay for them. And so it goes.

Here is a poem written by an unknown author:

I think I shall never see,
A church that’s all it ought to be;
A church whose members never stray
Beyond the straight and narrow way;
A church that has no empty pews.
Whose pastor never has the blues;
A church whose elders always speak,
And none is proud and all are meek.
Such perfect churches there may be,
But none of them are known to me.
But still, we’ll work and pray and plan
To make our own the best we can.

“Look at the Nations and watch - and be UTTERLY AMAZED. for I am going to do something in YOUR days that you would not believe even if you were told” Habakkuk 1:5

Pastor Lyle
