Scary Thought

I've been thinking about a post from my friend Glenn Reynold's blog; here is what he says'
"Most Christians are a major tragedy away from giving up on their faith. I think it's true. Here's an even scarier thought--Many Christians are a minor inconvenience away from giving up their faith, or at least their church. If something goes wrong in a relationship, if the worship music isn't right, if someone doesn't call them back then they can easily give up church altogether. How do we build more commitment into the hearts of people?"

Good thought! It seems that some people tend to give up on their faith or church because of simple inconveniences. I think Satan sometimes works in the small ways more then the big ways. He knows that if he can get a person offended, busy, or away from the Word and prayer, he has a great advantage of getting people to slip from their faith. As a pastor, I've seen this far too many times. As my friend Glenn said in his blog, "How do we build more commitment in the hearts of people?"
