Dr. Charles Allen, the now retired United Methodist preacher from Houston, Texas, shared, tongue in cheek, a survey he once made in his church:

10% of the members cannot be found

20% -- never attend

25% -- never pray

35% -- never read the Bible

40% -- never give financially to the church

70% -- never attend Sunday Evening Service

75% -- never assume any church task

85% -- never invite anyone to church

95% -- never win a soul to Jesus

100% -- expect to go to Heaven!

It reminds me of the old black spiritual that goes, "Everybody talkin'' about ''Heaven'' ain''t necessarily goin''." Talking about being transformed by Christ and looking like a transformed person are two different realities. You know electricity when you touch it. It has power and a charge. If only that could be said…
