Parable Of
The Dead Church
A
person once called a pastor to say he
wanted to join the church, but went on to
say that he did not want to worship every
week, study the Bible, visit the sick,
witness to non-Christians, or serve as a
leader or teacher.
The pastor
commended him for his desire to join, but
told him the church he sought was in
another section of town. The man took the
directions and hung up.
When he
arrived at the address he had been given,
he came face to face with the result of
his own apathetic attitude. There stood
an abandoned church building, boarded up
and ready for demolition.

Do all things
without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be
blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without

world. Philippians 2:14-15

REASONS TO ATTEND BIBLE
SCHOOL
- It shows our
love for God. We are commanded in
Ephesians 5:17; II Timothy 2:14; II Peter
3:18 to study. Jesus said if we love the
Lord, we will keep the commandments. (John
14:15-24)
- We will be
judged by the Bible. (John 12;48;
Revelation 20:12
- The Bible
can save us. (James 1:21; I Corinthians 1:21;
Romans 1:16; Acts 20:32)
- Our faith
comes through the word of God. (Romans 10:17)
- We need the
Word to grow spiritually. (I Peter 2:1-2;
Colossians 1:28)
- We are
setting the right example.
- We enjoy the
fellowship and friendship of other
Christians.
- The Bible is
the most thought provoking book in the
world.
- To be like
Christ, I Peter 2:21 tells us to walk in
the footsteps of Christ. Luke 4:16
informs us that it was His "custom"
to go study the scriptures every Sabbath.
- It is
practical - where else could we spend an
hour of our time more profitably?
The Elders here at Ninth & Main
want every member who is able to attend Bible
School faithfully and regularly. The elders watch
after our souls.(Hebrews 13:7-17)
We want our bible School to grow in
numbers. Every number represents a soul. Every
soul Will live forever throughout eternity.
Let us all commit ourselves to become
faithful in Bible School attendance.
In
Christian Love,
John Hobbs
