Sermon Illustration about Attitude, Church, Witnessing

A Southern California minister reports, "A neighboring church has just completed a large addition, including a new sanctuary, to house their growing congregation.  Last week they discovered that 250 housing units were going in right behind them-they will share a property line."

Their pastor said he had two conversations within a three-hour time period. 

The first individual said: "We need to build a fence so their kids don't wander onto our property." 

The second person asked: "Do we have the money to build a sidewalk and steps up to our church so their kids can come to our ministries?"
