Comments on: Why Go To Church? http://www.pastordanwalker.org/2004/05/why-go-to-church.htm Truth from Life Church St Louis Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:30:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Pastor Dan http://www.pastordanwalker.org/2004/05/why-go-to-church.htm/comment-page-1#comment-191 Pastor Dan Wed, 28 Jul 2004 05:51:00 +0000 http://192.168.1.105/wordpress/?p=178#comment-191 Please reread my blog. I did not condemn the playing of organized sports, nor say that sports would take away someone's moral framework, nor did I say that missing a few Sundays for a Christian sports camp or a special tournament was wrong. I was simply giving some common examples why people do not go to church at all or very little. Sports activities on Sunday mornings are becoming increasingly prevalent and are a reason that some people do not take their children to church at all. When sports activities consistently take priority over church for someone's children, there is a problem. Although sports activities can provide important benefits for children, they cannot provide the moral framework for life that instruction and participation in church can. If Christians continue to give in to sports directors scheduling sports activities on Sunday mornings, it may soon be impossible to regularly participate in certain sports and Sunday morning church at the same time. If that is the case, I encourage you to choose church for your children. Please reread my blog.

My family still has problems but God is there to help us and the people in the church are they to pray and support us. I just know the people at FLCC love my family.
