"11 Differences between a College Football Fan and a
Church Member" came from ThomRanier.com's blog of July
26, 2014. "Caution: While I do write these comparisons with
some humor and a lot of hyperbole, you might get just a bit
uncomfortable reading them. That may indicate there is some
truth in each of them.
1. A college football fan loves to win. The typical church
member never wins someone to Christ.
2. A college football fan gets excited if a game goes into
overtime. A church member gets mad if the pastor preaches
one minute past the allocated time.
3. A college football fan is loyal to his or her team no matter
what. A church member stops attending if things are not going well.
4. A college football fan is easily recognized by his or her
sportswear, bumper stickers, and team flags. Many church
members cannot even be recognized as Christians by people
with whom they associate.
5. A college football fan pays huge dollars for tickets, travel,
and refreshments for games. A church member may or may
not give to his or her church.
6. A college football fan reads about his or her football team
every day. A church member rarely reads the Bible once in
the course of a week.
7. A college football fan attends the game no matter how bad
the weather is. A church member stays home if there is a 20
percent chance of rain.
8. A college football fan invites others to watch the game
every week. A church member rarely invites someone to
church.
9. A college football fan is known for his or her passion for
the football team. A church member is rarely known for his
or her passion for the gospel.
10. A college football fan will adjust gladly to changes in
kickoff time. A church member gets mad if his or her service
time is changed by just a few minutes.
11. A college football fan is loyal even if he or she never gets
to meet the coach. A church member gets mad if the pastor
does not visit for every possible occasion.
Yes, I admit I do enjoy college football. But I really
love Christ’s churches even more. I need to demonstrate that
reality more readily. Do you?"
It is Annual Church Report (formerly known as Annual Church Profile) time again. Clerks/pastors/secretaries,
we need the Annual Church Report (ACR) completed and
turned in to us by September 18. You may complete the
forms online or by a hard copy. If you complete the forms
online, please let us know ASAP and send us your check for
the number of Books of Minutes you would like. Remember
that we cannot complete our work here in the office to get the
Book of Reports published for Annual Meeting without your
ACRs being completed. Please assist our new Ministry Assistant, Pat Wilks, by completing your ACRs on time as this is
her first experience with ACRs. Thank you for your help.
Please make your plans now to attend Annual Meeting at First Baptist Church Leesburg Thursday, October 16,
beginning with business at 4:30 PM, a meal at 6:00 PM, Presession music (Brewton-Parker College Choir) at 6:45 PM,
