Ha.
Reminds me of a Royal Rangers meeting i had a long time ago
I told the rangers a story that spoke to them of their need of
Jesus.
6 or7 wished to be saved so they were taken aside by the Pastor
and the rest were left with me.
One boy started to become noisy and unruly, so like a nuckle
head i lost my cool as he was disturbing the seekers.
That young lad grew into a 6 foot giant that could have swatted
me like a fly. Ha he took pity on me thankfuly and left me alone.

It can be very trying sometimes.

Macca

Actually Macca you may have done the young man a favor by teaching him respect for the house of God.
You say he is now grown up has he taken his place in the church or is he still a goof off?

Very Funny

The ringing cell phone happens more frequently than it should. The real problem is the answering of it instead of simply silencing it. The person that answers says they are more interested in the phone call than what the Pastor is saying.

The question then has to be asked why? Why are some people more interested in the phone call than what the pastor is saying? I mean they went to all the bother of getting ready and coming to church. Evidently they had a reason for doing this. Could they be things like this:
Was it to see their friends?
Did they think they are making points with God by showing up?
Do they want to be seen as being spiritual?

If they came to truly worship God is their reason why the phone call is more important because:
The pastor is boring?
He was speaking too long and they are bored?
They don't understand the message?
They don't care about the message they just came to sing and pray?
Or they have never been trained either by parents or the Pastor to realize how important it is to be an attentive listener?

They problem is way too many in church today while they might not have a ringing cell phone to answer have their minds everywhere but there in the service.

Maybe it was because she was saved!

Who cares? God would not send her to Hell anyway.

She is on her way to Heaven to join Paul, Peter, John and other Christian martyrs and shared in the SAME rewards they have in Heaven.

Disrespect, dishonor to the Pastor and other members of the congregation will just have to live with it.

They need to get over it!

Sin doesn't send people to Hell according to some.

So WHO CARES! She did NOT!

(MAYBE THAT WAS WHAT SHE WAS TAUGHT)
