Summer time is rough

It seems every summer, when the kids get out of school, attendance falls off. I understand that we all have a lot going on, but that is no excuse for turning your back on God. When people get out of church, they tend to quit praying, and that leads to a reduction in Bible study, which leads to spiritual weakness. That gives sin the opening to wreck our lives. I have seen it before, and I am seeing it again. It is sad to watch good people fall away from God, but we are told that it WILL happen. Look in 2 Thess. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; That is what we are seeing, a falling away of the faithful. It is so sad.

I had 22 kids sign up to go to youth camp. Of those, I haven't seen several of them in over a month. I wonder if they will even show up to go on the trip? I hope to hear from them soon(real soon), or we'll have to make some modifications to our travel plans.

Realize that when we make a choice to miss church to do something else, we are putting things before God. There is a name for this, idolatry. Deut. 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. Seek Him while He can still be found, fight the good fight while you can!
