Easter....Chreaster...

In light of the Easter festivities this weekend...I will not be churching.
Not at "my" church anyway.
Turns out the fam is going to visit with my sister in Michigan, and well...I'm going with.
She's even making Easter dinner.....should be interesting. :)

This however, made my decision as to which of the million services my church has, I should go to fairly simple...thank goodness.

I've been hearing a lot of talk about these Chreasters lately. Mostly negative talk. I get it. People that only go to church on Christmas and Easter, somehow trying to fill the void in their life on two days of the year, ecetera, and so on. To the average church goer....these people should be looked down upon.

SO lets talk about the speck at the plank story found in Matthew 7. I think churchy people are so quick to judge the outsider and it drives me nuts. So what if these people only come to church twice a year, at least they are coming! How many people refuse to even step inside a church to hear the good news? Not only that, but how many people go to church their entire lives and still don't get "it." Perhaps one day, one Christmas or Easter, something will stick. What an incredible ministry opportunity! I cant wait for the oh yeah I used to be a Chreaster...and then I realized God wont fit into two Sundays a year only at church story.

So I'm praying for the Creasters, that they will find something this weekend at whatever church they decide to go to that they just cant leave to two days a year.


If I were you, I would go to the least "popular" church service this Sunday. Free up some room for those creasters, and while you're sitting there at the 8:00 service, you can pray for all the people that are going to be filling that room at various parts of the day. And just think, you'll get home in time to take a nap before hitting up all the family shindigs going on the rest of the day.
