When a person claims he can’t find the time to read his Bible a while each day but never misses the newspaper. Who is he kidding?

When a person says the church pews are too hard to sit on but sits on a bleacher for hours and watches football players push each other around in the mud. Who is he kidding?

When a person says he doesn’t have the time for Christ and the church but spends evenings shopping, bowling or watching television, who is he kidding?

When a person says he can’t afford to give to the Lord but lives in a comfortable home, drives a nice car and eats well, who is he kidding?

Friends, we may be kidding ourselves with the excuses we offer, but we certainly are not deceiving God!
