Getting down to business

This weekend at church, our pastor said too many ministers "soft-pedal the gospel" these days. Then last night, we heard a sermon on Christian radio which recalled how Dwight L. Moody tried to witness to someone every day.

So this Sunday when we played in a 10:30 a.m. ET online tournament, we wrote this comment: "So is everyone here like me, and went to church yesterday?"

Only one person responded with a "rofl" (roll on floor laughing)

To which we answered, "No really. Seventh-Day Sabbath, you know."

That person then wrote something like, "I hear ya. I'm just yanking your leg."

No one else at the full table commented at all. Perhaps we started them thinking a bit. But then again, maybe this started you thinking a bit. Good.

"Some people have gotten out of the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other...." - Hebrews 10:25, CEV

Is meeting at a poker table really worship? Especially if you're not making comments along the way?
