>The often-raised “excuse” for not going to church is “There are too many hypocrites there.”
A classic, though not kind answer, “That’s okay, there is plenty of room for another one.”
But a while ago someone played that excuse on me, and I responded, “Don’t you like the NFL?”
“Well, yeah.”
“Of course you know there are a lot of scum bags in the National Football League?”
“Well, yeah.”
“But you still like the NFL, right?”
Not sure if I made my point, but it works for me!

Jesus invaded my life shortly after my arrest at age 26. I spent the first few years of my new life incarcerated. Went to Bible school after parole; have served with Kansas City Youth For Christ, Headwaters Christian Youth (Rhinelander, Wi), Family Life Ministries (Bath, NY), and now with Midland Ministries (Saint Joseph, Mo). Married with four children, work with youth, adults, inmates. Heavily involved in Bible quizzing for four decades. Narrow minded about Jesus and the gospel; fairly open minded about most other things. Speak in churches, camps (both teen and family), civic groups, public schools, Christian schools and colleges...amazed I get to do what I get to do....favorite verse Romans 15.13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you, by the power of the Holy Spirit, may overflow with hope."
