Why won't they come?

That is the question at hand. Why won't the people come?
Have we lost our zeal to serve the Lord and to reach out to others to invite them to experience the same blessings that we are blessed to have?
Back in the day, when you were down and out and didn't know where you to go, you could always go to the church. When you felt that you couldn't take anymore of life's problems, you could go to the church and there you found hope. We used to have a unique kind of reverence for the church like no other.
We ask ourselves why people aren't compelled to come to the church. The last place that we should point our fingers is at the people. We first need to examine ourselves and ask if what we are doing is lining up with the word of God. Next, if people can embrace one another's cultures in the world, why can't we do that in the church? Why are the most judgmental of people in the church? And why are the meanest people found in the church? Who would want to know God if He is not evident in your life? It's funny because we think that the way we sing or dance in church is the "right" way to do it but it would be mighty funny when we get to heaven and realize that there was another way that was "the" way. One of the most segregated institutions in the world is the church?
Could it be that we're running people away from the church by having pew warmers that go on Sunday morning to clock in and then clock out to return to their normal lives on Monday. Why do we go to church on Sunday and not even try to make a change or even pray for God to give our hearts a makeover?
We ask why the people won't come, but we need to ask ourselves what are we doing to keep them from coming. We need to examine ourselves.
