  Denomination: Christian/Church Of Christ

Being a kid on the 6th grade playground, I

remember the awful experience of running to the

ball field at recess only to hear those awful

words shouted just before I joined in the

game…”No more players!” How many games I had to

sit and watch because the kids wouldn’t allow

just one more player.

When we say we like our church just the size it

is right now, we might as well stand and

yell “No more players!” When we take all the

best seats and parking places, we might as well

stand and yell “No more players!” When we

neglect to welcome new people or invite our

friends and neighbors to church, we might as

well stand and yell “No more players!” Can the

church ever be to full for one more soul to come

to Christ and be changed for eternity.
