1/1–Ask Someone
Story:
Church does mean something, you know.
In a certain mountain village a pastor wondered what legacy he should leave to his townspeople. At last he decided to build them a church.
No one saw the complete plans for the church until it was finished.
When the people gathered, they marveled at its beauty and completeness. Then someone asked, “But where are the lamps? How will it be lighted?”
The pastor pointed to some brackets in the walls. Then he gave to each family a lamp which they were to bring with them each time they came to worship.
“Each time you are here the area where you are seated will be lighted,” the pastor said.
“Each time you are not here, that area will be dark. This is to remind you that whenever you fail to come to church, some part of God’s house will be dark.”
Is your lamp lit?
Scripture:
Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

BY THE TIME THE MORNING SERVICE WAS TO
BEGIN, ONLY ONE MAN WAS IN THE CHURCH.
THE PRIEST SAID TO HIM. “IT LOOKS LIKE
EVERYONE HAS SLEPT IN. DO YOU WANT TO
GO HOME OR SHOULD I PREACH THE
SERMON?”
THE MAN REPLIED, “WHEN I GO TO FEED THE
CHICKENS AND ONLY ONE COMES. I STILL
FEED IT”
THE PRIEST TOOK THAT AS A YES, MOUNTED
THE PULPIT AND DELIVERED AN HOUR-LONG
SERMON.
AT THE END, HE ASKED THE MAN WHAT HE
THOUGHT.
HIS ANSWER: “WHEN I GO TO FEED THE
CHICKENS AND ONLY ONE COMES, I DON’T
GIVE IT THE WHOLE BUCKET!”
