10 little Christians
Our pastor is currently doing a series called “Church Life by the Book.” Last evening and next Sunday evening he’s speaking on “Our Mission” - which is about our mission in reaching people. When I ran across the following poem in my files, I knew I should post it.
10 Little Christians
- author unknown
10 little Christians standing in line,
1 disliked the preacher, then there were 9
9 little Christians stayed up very late,
1 overslept on Sunday, then there were 8
8 little Christians on their way to heaven,
1 took the low road and then there were 7
7 little Christians chirping like chicks,
1 disliked the music, then there were 6
6 little Christians seemed very much alive,
but one lost his interest then there were 5
5 little Christians heading for heaven’s shore,
but one stopped to rest, then there were 4
4 little Christians each busy as a bee,
1 got his feelings hurt, then there were 3
3 little Christians knew not what to do,
1 joined the wild crowd, then there were 2
2 little Christians, our rhyme is nearly done,
differed with each other, then there was 1
1 little Christian can’t do much, ’tis true,
brought his friend to Bible study - then there were 2
2 earnest Christians, each one reached one more,
That doubled the number, then there were 4
4 sincere Christians worked early and late,
Each won another, then there were 8
8 splendid Christians if they doubled as before,
In just so many Sundays, there’d be 1,024
In this little jingle, there is a lesson true,
you belong to either the building or the wrecking crew!

My wife and I enjoyed visiting with our daughter Megan and little grandson Drew early this evening by webcam over Skype. What a blessing! Meg and Jim took him for pictures today at the photographer. I’m posting several shots below.

Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.
