Fishing or Church?

A christian was asked by a friend to go fishing with him on Sunday. This man answered, " I am unable to go on Sunday it is the Lords day; I go to church. But I would love to go with you any other day, but not Sunday."

His friend asked him another question, "Do you really go to church every Sunday?"

This Christian answered, " Yes I sure do, every Sunday, as a matter of fact I also go Sunday night, and Wednesday night also. You see these people at my church are like my family. I love them, I want to be with them. They mean a lot to me."

The new converts in Jerusalem were like that, they loved God, & Gods people, & loved to be around them. This was a wonderful part of being a Christian. When other see, when the world sees God's people happy, joyful, & excited, this often whets their appetite for Jesus. It would be hard to prove that you & I love God's people, if we have any excuse to stay away from the one place where God's people are. And that is of course AT CHURCH.
