Stephen Altrogge:
Let’s face it folks: sometimes it ain’t easy going to church. Church can be really messy, sticky, frustrating business sometimes.
There’s that friend of yours who has really been ticking you off lately. He keeps making comments on your Facebook wall that are so irritating! And if you go to church you’re going to have to see him in person! There is no “unfriend” function in real life.
Then there’s that needy guy who always hijacks you for twenty minutes, preventing you from talking to anyone else. He’s always talking about how hard his life is! Talk about a downer!
And sometimes the worship just isn’t that great. . .
The rest here.
