people attending ti church servi throughout it your one wo rind that shot two persons per Iamlly alte church on Sunday This again not general but the result oi survey at one particular churr and represents the total atte dance at all seviees on So day The weather color can have marked significanco on diurt attendance wet Sunday spring or summer can reduce the attendance at church as much 50 per cent Likewise snowy Sunday in winter can have the same eiieci One rea lises that there are thoexcep tions but oneatao accepts the fact that regardless oi the wee thcr conditions the ialthlul will come as usual Speclnl occasions esuvall guest speakers and unusual con diticns have marked innuen co oi the attendance at church During World War it It was sound that on national Days oi prayer churches were titled with pic earnestly seeking Gods mp in the national emergency People tool they have on ohliga tion to attend at Christmas Esa tor and perhaps Whitsunday So me are more concerned with the expression at iami training andsemnkoaneorttoco me to church on Mothers Day and Fathers Day MOTIVATION Regardless ot the occasion the main reason for church al tondnnce la motivation in other words what motivates to come to church regular And another question that might be asked lswhat makes them come only occasionally What motivates people to co mo to church The answer to this would iiil many volumes but let us think on some oi the motives There are those who come to church because their up bringing Aa chlidren they we re reared in the khowladge Ind nurture oi the Lord They were brought to church by their pa rents they rat together in the ramily ow they attended lun dny no as well as church and were exposed to the Gospel in this way These people grew into knowledge til Christ in this way and had no specific moving experience but they knew that they on in Christ REV I1 RIDDEL them and new they have pan ed it on to their children course there are those who hav one through all this and now on they have children oi their own the refuse to make them go to urch or Sunday School because the were ma do to and the ore will not compo lhelr children valid argument No one was aver compelled to come into his Kingdom or God God ave to man that little piece divin ity which allows him to make his own choice either to do right or do wrong The trouble is that we uunily do wrong An other thing that is lorgottan is that in having the right to make our choice we also have the res ponsibilih oi answering to the choice we made LOVE OF 001 Then there are those who come to church because of the compelling love of God who thmtiglr His son Jesus Christ was pericct God and periect man but nevertheless was pres ent in the synagogue ovary sab bath day The example chritit was such that He needed the fellowship of the church the communty oi believers to ot ter up corporate worship praise and thanksgiving The church has something to oller these people but ilrrt than is some thing they must do themselves They niust give thentselves be fore they can receive How many people have we knowa who say of church going really got nothing out or going to church sortable holy and living
