My top 10 church pet peeves!

My top 10 church pet peeves!
The dictionary defines a Pet Peeve this way:  a particular and often continual annoyance. 
So with that definition in mind let me share with you what peeves this pastor!
You might peeve this pastor if . . .
1.       You are too sick or tired to go to church on Sunday, but not too sick or tired to go to work on Monday.
You might peeve this pastor if . . .
2.       You pay extra money for a front row seat at a ballgame and yet come early to get a back row seat at church.
You might peeve this pastor if . . .
3.       You can afford to buy new computers, ipods, iphones, etc. but can’t afford to give God His tithe!
You might peeve this pastor if . . .
4.       You can sit through a 2 hour movie without going to the bathroom but can’t sit through a worship service without getting up and down to take care of your business.
You might peeve this pastor if . . .
5.       You go to a movie and sit through all the credits before you get up to leave but leave the worship service before it’s over.
You might peeve this pastor if . . .
6.       You stand in the foyer during the sermon talking to your buddy instead of being inside the sanctuary listening to the word of God.
You might peeve this pastor if . . .
7.       You get together with your friends to intercede, however there is more sharing (also known as gossip) going on than there is intercession.
You might peeve this pastor if . . .
8.       You have no problem taking instruction and direction from your boss at work, but get mad if the pastor at church gives you instruction or direction.
You might peeve this pastor if . . .
9.       You don’t faithfully bring your children to church when they are young and then are heart broken when they won’t go to church when they are older.
And last but not least, you might peeve this pastor if . . .
10.   You can yell, scream, gesture and clap at a football game and can’t lift your hands and open your mouth to worship God.
Thanks, I feel a little better now that I've got that off my chest!
