Excuses, Excuses, Excuses, What's Yours? There are many reasons why people don’t attend church regularly. Even in Jesus’ day, people gave reasons why they could not commit themselves to Him. Jesus’ call to the people of his day was that the kingdom of God was at hand, repent of your sins and follow me. And yet people made many reasons why they could not follow Him. The cost of discipleship may be a cost that many are not ready to pay. It requires us to give of our whole self and not just part of whom we are. God’s grace is worth our daily devotion, our weekly attendance, and our financial contributions to the work of the church. So what will be our response? Excuses, or a resounding yes to our commitment to Christ and His Church?
