Key Bible Verse: So I asked them .
"Why is the house of God neglected?" (Nehemiah 13:11).
Bonus Reading: Hebrews 10:19-24
12 reasons why I stopped going to ball games:
1. Whenever I go to a game, they ask for money.
2. The other fans don't care about me.
3. The seats are too hard.
4. Coach never visits me.
5. The referee makes calls I don't agree with.
6. Some of the games go into overtime and make me late for dinner.
7. The band plays songs I don't know.
8. My parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.
9. I have other things to do at game time.
10. I know more than the coaches anyway.
11. I can be just as good a fan at the lake.
12. I won't take my kids to a game either. They must choose for themselves which teams to follow.
an ex-sports fan in A Heart Like His Respond:
What things irritate me at church that I willingly endure elsewhere? Thought to Apply:
Being a Christian without joining other Christians in the church is like being a soldier without an army, a seaman without a ship.
a tuba player without an orchestra.
or a bee without a hive.
Mrs. William P. Janzen (writer)
