July 26, 2019 – “Over the years we
have seen folks get upset and leave the church and then later live to regret
their decision. Often they become church “hoppers” moving their membership
every time something is not to their liking. There are times when doctrinal or
moral issues enter into the decision to leave but more often than not it is
personality or something trivial. Friend, think twice before you uproot your
family. You may live to regret your “hop.” Often we learn that the grass is
greener on the other side of the fence only because it is covering a septic
tank!” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is for a Christian
testimony that avoids “trivial pursuits.”
James
1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every
man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: KJV
“The local high school has a policy that
the parent's must call the school if the student is to be absent for the day.
Kelly, deciding to skip and go to the mall with her friends waited till her
parent's had left for work and called the school herself. This is the actual
conversation of the telephone call. Kelly: "Hi, I'm calling to report that
Kelly so-and-so is unable to make it to school today because she is ill. Secretary
at high school: "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll note her absence. Who is
this calling?" Kelly: "This is my mother."
