There is (or was) a game show in which the game host would give the answer to questions by, “The Survey Says . . .” A survey is one of the most used devices in sales, research and in just about every area of our lives.
There was a survey taken not too long ago to determine how people select a church to “join.” Thousands of questionnaires were sent out and the responses were studied and tabulated. It is quite revealing. Here is the result:
It is only reasonable that more will become members of a church because members of that church invite them and show a special interest in them. Sometimes all it takes is a “Come go to church with me today,” or a simple phone call with the same invitation.
Ask a person in whom you have a sincere interest to come to church with you. It may be the very thing that brings one into the fold of Christ. Invite a friend, a family member, or a neighbor.
