An Eye-Opening Microsoft News Poll

A Microsoft (MSN) News poll that I participated in this morning is eye-opening.

The question was asked: "How often do you attend religious services?" The total responses were taken from 222,248 votes.

Here are the percentages:

5% ---More than once a week.
22% --- Once a week.
24% --- Only for special observances.
38% --- Never
11% --- Other

We can now plainly see the spiritual condition of America by the above percentages (here and here is the cure).

Have we ever thought about the fact that seven days without God makes one "weak" (spiritually speaking)? (see article). And have we also thought about the fact that (1) Collective worship is conducive to good health; and (2) There is a close connection between staying mentally fit and human interaction, i.e., being sociable; and (3) That our assembling together [personal, physical contact with fellow Christians] in Hebrews 10:25 is a command? (see article). Here are other reasons.

One more thought: Great things were never achieved by fearful men or women (see article).

Beloved, the above thoughts are some things we need to seriously "think" (also see here) about, not only today, but every day.
