Many church members these days just sit there in the pews of churches around the nation with their arms folded as if saying OK, entertain me. The same is said for those who just stood there watching Jesus die on the cross. Which are you? One who is content with just sitting on the sidelines or are you ready to step up and be counted? Since your comment is anonymous we all know where you stand.Brother Douglas C McKay Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043332279629913478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754379006040090804.post-30646059933254297452008-11-08T21:45:00.000-06:002008-11-08T21:45:00.000-06:00Sounds like an interesting statistic!

Perhaps that's an encouraging sign that God's people are beginning to listen Him more about the treatment of God's man.<BR/><BR/>The stunning thing about the statistic, which we perhaps don't consider at first, is that it includes the long-tenured pastors like W.A. Criswell, Jerry Vines, Johnny Hunt and others. That means that many of the pastors don't even stay a year in one church. That saddens my heart even more than the statistic itself does.<BR/><BR/>God bless you, Duke, as you continue to seek Him and His will for your life.
