"...Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." (Heb. 10:25)

Here are my reasons why I quit attending sports:

1. The people I sat next to didn't seem friendly.

2. The seats were too hard, and the weather was bad.

3. I went to many games but the coach never came to call on me.

4. The referees made decisions that I couldn't agree with.

5. The games often went into overtime, and I was late getting home.

6. The band played numbers I'd never heard before, and it wasn't my style of music.

7. It seems the games were always scheduled when I wanted to do other things.

8. There were hypocrites among those who attended.

9. I was taken to too many games by my parents when I was growing up.

All similarities to excuses people give for not attending worship are intentional. (Author Unknown)
