Afraid to attend church? Reconsider

-

Because there have been stabbings and shootings at some church services, some people refuse to attend church services because they fear for their life.

There have been stabbings and shootings other places, as well as people injured or killed by cars which were driven into people who were walking on sidewalks or walkways on bridges. A few years ago, a CARTA bus was shot at. No one was hurt or hit.

Who could forget July 15, 2015, when the recruiting center at Lee Highway was shot up? A Marine was shot and wounded, treated at a hospital and released. Also, a police officer was wounded. Four Marines and a sailor were murdered at the Marine and Navy Center near the Riverpark. But, although some people will keep going to the places where there has been violence, they refuse to attend church service. They claim it is too dangerous.

Christians, what if you died worshiping Jesus, who died so you can have everlastin­g life?
