Thanks for all the comments everyone. I was on a rant roll and couldn’t stop. Thankfully, it doesn’t happen very often.

@Billy: “Peach” some hellfire, huh? Is that a new kind of dessert.

Good call Jeff. Peach some hellfire on the truly damnation-deserving sins.

And how about adding “complaining” to the list. Man church people know how to complain. I’d take a gay christian with an amiable attitude over a heterosexual complainer any day.

What about how we talk about people or refuse to believe the best of others. I think that comes from being somewhat self absorbed too. Maybe we’ve become a little canibalistic?

Sweet…you picked up where I sort of left off in my comment yesterday when you touched on Visitation and Care.

I’ve seen this my whole adult life in my sporadic church attendance before I was saved (and since). Go to services consistently for a few weeks or months, then start getting lazy and sleeping in. Most of the places I’ve been you would never hear from again.

But…it is equal parts of the other members actually noticing you are gone and you letting them know why (medical, different church, etc.)

Toe-stepping time:

We at NH are outstanding at taking care of our own. Those who have been members for years. Hospital visits, prepared dinners, cards for those on the prayer list. We’re horrible with newer members/visitors.

Let someone come quietly sit in SS for a month and then go away? They’ll never hear from us. Those signs in the parking lot on the way out should be changed to read “Call a missing member”

I’m every bit as guilty as anyone I just threw under the bus

Rant off.

Nice post - I’m gonna link this if you are ok with that!?! I get irritated at the “listing” of sins but you have tastefully articulated some truth here, thanks!
