DISCIPLESHIP;
SUNDAY CHRISTIANS

It may be well to look at some of the marks of those who are not really disciples. Some of them have a pious look. In fact, on Sunday mornings, they look as pious as stuffed owls. We have some of them in our evangelical circles. People can afford to be pious at 10:45 a.m. on Sundays. It is a most convenient hour. They do not have to be religious to get up in time for 10:45 a.m. church. They do not lose out on their Sunday dinners, either. They get a little fresh air. The service does not last long. The music is good most of the time. It only costs them the dollar they drop in the offering plate.

So, those who go to church only once a week—on Sunday morning—leave themselves wide open to the suspicion that they are only part-time Sunday-morning disciples. They are not in church enough to prove that they are any other kind of disciple.
