Feature: Salvation is for the Poor

You sit in your chair unmoving, pretending not to hear. There it is again, it's even clearer this time.

"All those who want to give their lives to Christ should pick up their bags and come to the front".

Yep, that is exactly what the preacher man said into the microphone.

"Me? But I ain't no sinner", you reason.

"I have always been in church", you defend your reasoning some more.

"I look too good this morning to be walking all up to the front".

"Just got my hair done last night for service this morning. Can't be walking all the way to the front".

"That fine choir girl is doing the solo, she knows I got eyes for her. What will she think of me?"

"Nope! I am too cool for this shit! "

Oh won't this pastor too relent small! Is it by force? Ah!

"If you are here and you know deep down your heart that your life ain't aligned with God's word, my brother, my sister, don't let this opportunity pass you by. Come get right with your father"

You dig your feet in. Nice shoes erhn? Got plans after church right?

Can't be seen as poor. Only poor people go to the front to do this.

I look too fly for this.

Some people get up as the church claps for them. You join them. To clap.

Yeah, they need it. You are just fine here. In this seat. You will join them pray the sinner's prayer from the back here. God looks in the heart blah blah blah.

Time's up! It's over now.

Phewww!! That was close. Your heart beats faster for the last time and back to normal.

There will be another time to give our lives to Christ. Right now, we just making this paper any how we can!

Church is over. Let's smile to each other during the grace.

Seen my car? I must to be doing something right after all. It's all part of God's blessings.
