Where Are They?

It’s not hard to find a church; many are within walking distance.

Will we find more people to fill them?

“This is the church

This is the steeple.

Open the doors,

See all the people!” *author unknown

Teaching me to interlock my fingers; Mom repeatedly voiced the children’s rhyme.

It’s time for a rewrite…

“This is the church

This is the steeple.

Open the doors,

Where are all the people?”

That’s a good question; where are they?

They certainly aren’t packing many rural church pews; mourning sins at a mourner’s bench or bringing their burdens to the altar. Instead, they choose to forsake assembling at the local church.

… “not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching (Hebrews 10:25 AMP).”

Where are all the people?

Where will you be Sunday morning?
