I wouldn’t go fishing if I didn’t HOPE to catch something or if I didn’t think I would catch something. I wouldn’t spend long hours preparing sermons if I didn’t HOPE to get some results from some people. And I guess I wouldn’t go to church if I didn’t HOPE to gain something. Perhaps that’s why some people don’t come to church. THEY DON’T HOPE TO GAIN SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP THEM IN LIFE.
