Where
Are You?
The following article appeared recently. A
national survey of various churches revealed the following about
church members:
10% could not be found
20%
never attended any assembly
25%
admit that they never pray
35%
admit they never study God’s word
70%
never assume responsibility in work programs of the church
75%
never win a soul to Christ
BUT….100%
expect to go to heaven.
The above results from this survey does
cause one to sit up and reflect on them. How can one expect to go to
heaven and take the position indicated in this survey? According to
Christ’s teachings in Matthew 7:21, only the doers
of God’s will are going to heaven. In
verses 21 to 23, it is evident that one must
keep all, not just the smorgasbord
approach of modern man. In James 2:22, it is pointed out that we are
not to be just hearers of those commands, but we are to become doers
of those things which we hear….that is, become practitioners of
what it teaches.
