Too many church services begin at eleven o’clock sharp and end at twelve o’clock dull. “We blame television, boats, and ball games for poor crowds at church on Sunday nights, but they are not the main trouble.  Two pastors were discussing that problem.  One said, “My church is too near to the lake and too many of my people So boating.”  “My church is just as near to the lake,” replied the other, “but our trouble is not that we are too close to the lake.  We are not close enough to the Lord.”
