Have you ever heard any of these before?
For enjoyment share the “Ten Reasons Not to Go to Church.”
Allow people to add other excuses that they have heard and also some of the painful stories that they have heard about why people have been hurt and/or alienated from the church.
TEN REASONS NOT TO GO TO CHURCH
10. Once when I was sick the church didn’t visit me, so I’m not going to visit them.
9. The church is always talking about issues of life and death. I’ve got more important things to do.
8. The church is always talking about money. I may give 20% to the waitress, but I don’t understand why I should give 10% to God.
7. I’m busy 24/7 with important things, why should I waste precious time praising God.
6. Like I said to my neighbor, I heard the church is full of gossips, and from what I’ve heard, some church members don’t have such great reputations either.
5. The music is too loud, or too soft; I don’t remember which but they never play the one note that I can sing.
4. The church is full of hypocrites, why should I spend time with people like me.
3. I can’t stand there holier than thou attitude. I’m just too good a person for that.
2. I can pray to God just as easily on the golf course. In fact, I often use God’s name out there.
1. The church is always involved in controversial issues. Don’t they know that type of activity got Jesus killed?
Thank you.
