Committment!

Psalm 37: 5

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this…

 

I wonder how hard it is, to find committed people in the church anymore?

Did you know that in the 1990’s, it was believed that 5.6 billion people attended church services of any kind throughout the year.

Yet attendance in all professional sports combined annually, was only about 103 million.

 

Here’s the kicker though…

Contributions to the church totaled $56.7 billion (About $10.00 per person)—where the professional sports teams collected $8 billion. (About $80.00 per person)

 

We certainly don’t see much commitment in marriages anymore.

So it begs the question, do we truly find much commitment these days?

 

27% of all people who leave churches currently, do so, because they feel like they need a change in scenery.

That’s the number one reason.

They simply got disinterested in the church they were attending.

 

If not properly dealt with, church statisticians suggest, that what moved people to new sceneries, will eventually lead them to leaving multiple churches, repetitive times.

What changes that outlook? When people become committed to God’s work, right where they are.

 

Are you committed to God’s work, where you attend church?

Praise God for the committed souls, who stay the course, as opposed to looking for different scenery…
