A man was coming out of church one day. The pastor stood at the door to shake hands and gently pulled him aside.
“Brother,” he said, “you need to join the Army of the Lord.”
The man smiled, “Pastor, I’m already in the Lord’s army.”
“Then how come I only see you at Christmas and Easter?”
He whispered back, “I’m in the secret service.”
We sometimes call those folks “Cheasters”—Christmas-and-Easter attenders. It gets a laugh, but it also raises a serious question:
What kind of people are we?
What kind of church family do we really want to be?
