The following appeared in a daily reading booklet earlier this year, several people have commented on it so, as promised, here is Ten reasons why I never wash! 

Ten reasons why I never wash!

Before you tell me why you never go to church, please read Ten Reasons Why I Never Wash! (1) I was forced to wash as a child. (2) People who wash are all hypocrites; they think they are cleaner than everybody else. (3) There are so many different kinds of soap; I just can't decide which one is best for me. . (4) I used to wash, but I got bored and stopped doing it. (5) I wash only on special occasions like Christmas and Easter. (6) None of my friends wash. (7) I'll start washing when I get older and dirtier. (8) I don't have time to wash. (9) The bathroom is never warm enough in winter or cool enough in summer. (10) The people who make soap are only after your money! (Are you getting the message?)

There are principles you'll hear in God's house that will transform your business, your home, your life and your future. God will say things to you there that you won't hear anywhere else. Can you afford to live without that information? Your body is temporal, but your soul is eternal; how clever is it to care for one, yet neglect the other? Everybody who was anybody in the Bible went to church. Why? Because that's where you'll find a family to belong to...and insights to live by that will make this life better - and eternity wonderful!
