Since this is "football season," I thought I would share something that I think will give you a good laugh. However, in the laughter, you will find some well given points.
CHURCH FOOTBALL
Quarterback Sneak-Church members quietly leaving during the invitation.
Draw Play-What many children do with the bulletin during worship.
Half-time-The period between Sunday School and worship when many choose to leave.
Bench Warmer-Those who do not sing, pray, work, or apparently do anything but sit.
Backfield-in-Motion-Making a trip to the back (restroom or water fountain) during the service.
Staying in the Pocket-What happens to a lot money that should be given to the Lord's work.
Two-minute Warning-The point at which you realize the sermon is almost over and begin to gather up your children and belongings.
Instant Reply-The preacher loses his notes and falls back on last week's illustrations.
Sudden Death-What happens to the attention span of the congregation if the preacher goes "overtime."
End Run-Getting out of church quick, without speaking to any guest or fellow member.
Flex Defense-The ability to allow absolutely nothing said during the sermon to affect your life.
Halfback Option-The decision of 50% of the congregation not to return for the evening service.
Blitz-The rush for the restaurants following the closing prayer.
