If you are too busy in your church activities to take care of your family, then perhaps we had better find something else for you to do.

Obviously I don't really go to church any more - no time.
I've spent more time in hospitals than some fellows ever spend in church.
It's not enough to attend church and pray every Sunday; you have to act.
We come to church not to hide our problems but to heal them.
Inviting others to help us with our work in the Church helps them feel needed and helps them feel the Spirit. When these feelings come, many people often then realize that something has been missing from their lives.
I pastor a very large church in western Australia. We have about - over 2,000 people, which we have a Bible school, community services, a lot of things linked with it. So my life's very full today. Not enough days in the week.
We feel like if we miss a Sunday at church, that's one thing, but we can't miss an opportunity to help.
One thing is certain: our families are important. Don't get so stressed out and so preoccupied that we neglect one of the greatest things that God has given us, and that's our families.
Pray in your family daily, that yours may be in the number of the families who call upon God.
God tells me that I need to provide for my family, discipline and teach my children, and love my wife as Christ loves the church. If I don't do that, I'm being unfaithful and sinful.
