It's Top 10 Tuesday ...

Here are 7 of my Top 10 "Ways to get a New Visitor to your church to NEVER come back."

1. Tell them that they are in your pew. How dare they ... it is your pew!

2. Tell them there is a dress code, that they need a tie, need to wear pants, need to take off their cap or need to dress up more.

3. Let them hear you gripe about everything from the sermon, to the song leader, to the song selection.

4. Don't ask them if there is any thing they need or if there is anything you can pray about for them.

5. Have the preacher not be prepared.

6. Sing only old slow songs and do it with no life, feeling, heart or meaning. You know like, "Tis so sweet to rust in Jesus."

7. Have the preacher preach about why everyone else is going to hell. And have him name names if he can.

Swing by and catch the rest of the list on my blog today ...

Blessings,

Trey

PS - Did I miss any?

That is a good question and worhty of alot of thought. Another question in this same line might be "what if someone different showed up?" a homeless person, an alcoholic or someone with emotional problems- would you treat them with the love of Jesus or show them the door- Christ has called us to love the unlovely and if we only welcome and except the pretty people, the ones with all the social graces then were are not functioning in the heart nor the love of Jesus at all. Love first, ask questions later- you will not run of your visitors.
