We don’t hear that kind of excuse in regard to grocery stores, schools, or the golf club? But sometimes we hear it used in regard to the church.
An American Christian, Zig Ziglar invited a friend to go to church with him.
The man answered, “Well, I’d like to go. But the church is so full of hypocrites.”
Ziglar replied, “That’s okay. There’s always room for one more.”
