It is now very hard for me to listen to people talk about how the church didn’t do this or that for them. These comments have come from people that have been going to the church longer than we have and still refuse to become members because of what they feel will be expected of them.

I also get frustrated when people talk about how they can’t seem to get connected, yet they don’t put in any effort to serve or take anyone up on invitations to get involved in bible study or events that take place (again from people that have been going to church for awhile). I was actually surprised when someone asked me one time, “How can I get to be part of the “in” crowd at church?” I thought that was an interesting question.
