Something to chew on...It is what it is...

Can a unhappy "congregation" make a "attender" happy?

The scarce resource is not "attenders" but great "congregations".

Happiness is a choice, The congregation will not make the attender happy, But in my humble opinion, attitudes can change, Businesses can change and I suspect congregations can change too. Look for the positive and accent it.

In my opinion, if a congregation is not happy or joyful about salvation and fellowship, then we have a responsibility, perhaps a ministry to bring about renewal. Sure, there are a lot of trial in this life and certain locals can be suffering specific problems; but the church is for encouragement. It is to lift up the hurting, lonely and those who are suffering. The church is to urge believers to trust in God, who will carry us through our trials.

Nascar has given us a perfect of example of ministering to the lonely. God bless him for it.

Vine, are you facing some difficulties or unhappiness?. How can we pray for you ?
