Why you should sit in front in church...

Today I read a story about a young man who died in "church"

I can understand why some young people might not want to go to church. Some speakers or teachers can be long winded or boring...

but look at Acts 20... a young man by the name of Eutychus fell asleep listening to a sermon by the apostle Paul. I am quite sure Paul wasnt a boring speaker but that's only that much a young person or even any adult can take at one go..and Paul, on that night, was talking and talking and preaching and preaching (for he has to go to another place the next day and he has much to say to the brethren in that town) and so young Eutychus fell asleep....

and of all places, Eutychus was sitting at the back of the room and on a window ledge... he fell out the window and down to the streets... and died from the fall. Well, that must have woke up the whole church! Paul went down and raised Eutychus from the dead..and guess what, everyone went back in to the room and Paul continued preaching.... and i bet you Eutychus probably sat right in the front!

Moral of the story - sit in front! and if you have to sleep...don't sit by the window... but IF you really had to sleep and you have to sit by the window, make sure you know who the speaker is and if he can raise people from the dead!

Lazy Lazy Lazy

Some funny and interesting things the Bible talks about regarding "Lazy people"

Proverbs 19:24 - Lazy People take food in their hand but don't even lift it to their mouth
so i reckon it goes to say that fat people are not lazy people. and the fatter you are, the more hardworking you are!! lol

Proverbs 18: 9 - A lazy person is as bad as someone who destroys things
i think it is more fun destroying things but hey, i haven't seen the police catch someone for being lazy but we have heard of many police cases about destroying public properties...

Proverbs 19:15 - Lazy people sleep soundly but idleness leaves them hungry
one sure remedy of imsomnia - be lazy... but be careful, you might end up putting on weight...

Proverbs 26:16 - Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors.
enough said.... the verse is self explanatory

Proverbs 26:14 - As a door swings back and forth on its hinges, so the lazy person turns over in bed
so what if someone just sleeps on its back without turning - not lazy right?

and... finally...

Proverbs 22:13 - The lazy person claims, "There's a lion out there! If i go outside, I might be killed!"
duh!
