The doctor later asked the preacher, "Are the people helping you do the work?" He replied, "All my members are working now. Forty of them are working for me and the other two hundred are working against me."
3. What kind of church member are you? I remember hearing a powerful question years ago that would help each of us evaluate our church, and church membership. The question asks, "What kind of church would my church be, if every church member was just like me?" Think about that question, and let's consider what type of church member a man named Eutychus was, and see if there are any similaritie ...
