To be of no church is dangerous. Religion, of which the rewards are
distant and which is animated only by Faith and Hope, will glide by
degrees out of the mind unless it be invigorated and reimpressed by
external ordinances, by stated calls to worship, and the salutary
influence of example."
-- Samuel Johnson: Milton (Lives of the Poets)

A church family will help keep you from backsliding.
None of us are immune to temptation. Given the
right situation, you and I are capable of any sin.
God knows this, so he has assigned us as individuals
the responsibility of keeping each other on track.
The Bible says, "Encourage one another daily . . .
so that none of you may be hardened by sin's
deceitfulness" (Hebrews 3:13).
--Rick Warren (1954- )
