What Is Wrong?
Something is bad wrong when we cannot have all of the members of the church, and their children, in attendance for Bible study. If you are a habitual absentee, consider that your eternal welfare depends upon your fi nding and correcting what is wrong. A few possibilities are listed:- If you are too sick to go, something is wrong with your health. You should consult a doctor.
- If you think you don't need the help that comes from Bible study, something is wrong with your education. You don't know enough to know what you need most.
- If you sleep too late, you are too lazy. You need to study Proverbs 6:6-11.
- If you don't have the interest to go, something is terribly wrong with your attitude. Indifference causes people to be lost.
- If you are too busy to go, something is wrong with your schedule. The person who is "too busy" to serve the Lord is "too busy" to go to heaven.
- If you let company keep you away, then something is wrong with your courage. You should have the grit to serve the Lord even if the company is missed or offended.
- If you think your clothes are not good enough, something is wrong with your pride. This excuse is over exalted, for the persons who use it can usually go anywhere else in the same town similarly dressed.
And when any of the above, excepting the first, are the reasons you will not regularly worship and study, something is wrong with your heart. Do not deceive yourself by thinking that everything will "work out alright" if everything is not all right with your heart — check yours!
