HOPE Devotional
TALK or DO? The Church Needs People Who DO!
JUST SUPPOSE...
SUPPOSE you had to "run" for church membership as any can-
didate runs for political office. Would you win or lose?
SUPPOSE the membership were good for one year only, and that re-
election depended upon the good you had done in the church during
that time. Would you be re-elected or not?
SUPPOSE there were a long list of those waiting to get in. Would you
be more alive to your duties as a Christian?
SUPPOSE you were called on to explain just why your church should
keep your name on the roll. Have you a record of helpful service to
offer in your defense?
SUPPOSE every member in the church did as much for the church
as you are doing. Would more seats be needed, or would be doors
be shut?
SUPPOSE your church had this set of rules? All dues must be paid in
advance. Regular attendance at services is required, sickness
being the only acceptable excuse. Each member is required to
serve in some recognized church work, such as Sunday School
teacher, active member of some organization, friendly visitor.
How long would you qualify?
