There Was A Little Church Located In A Small ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
There was a little church located in a small town and there were few people attending. They didn’t want to close it down because there wouldn’t be any church for miles around. The church board decided to go to every house in the community and ask, “Would it matter to you if we closed the church doors?” Most of the people said, “No, we don’t attend anyway.”
After everyone in the town was contacted, the doors were locked and eventually the building was torn down.
The values of that town were evident.
