Shock your mother this Sunday and go to church!There are plenty of reasons to go to church besides making your mother happy:
1 Because it is an act of obedience to God and it honors the Lord's Day -Exodus 20:8
2 Because we need to belong to a community of faith that includes our brothers and sisters in Christ who are trying to live out the gospel
3 Because we benefit from being taught and led in worship by others, rather than always depending on ourselves to read and study the Bible
4 Because we need help to face the issues of life and faith as presented through the teachings of the Bible
5 Because we need to hear reminders of God's love
6 Because we need an alternative to the messages of a culture that ignore God
7 Because we need a conscious break from work, family problems, and self interests in order to gain a Godly perspective on life

"How on earth can you see the TV sitting so far back?"
"Yeah, I used to skip school a lot, too"
"Just leave all the lights on ... it makes the house look more cheery"
"Let me smell that shirt -- Yeah, it's good for another week"
"Go ahead keep the stray dog, honey. I'll be glad to feed and walk him every day"
"Well, if Roger's mom says it's OK, that's good enough for me."
"Curfew is just a general time to shoot for"
"I don't have a tissue with me ... just use your sleeve"
"Don't bother wearing a jacket - the wind-chill is bound to improve"
See you Sunday . . .
