Church Attendance Saves Lives

You know what they say about statistics?! So, take this humorous compilation that I got from FUMC Palestine with a grain of salt.

Play It Safe

1. Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of fatal accidents.
2. Don’t stay at home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.

3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians.

4. Avoid traveling by air, rail or water because 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation.

5. Avoid hospitals because 32% of all deaths occur in a hospital.

Conclusion: Only .001% of all deaths occur in a worship service in a church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Therefore, the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is in church! Bible study is safe too. The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less. For safety’s sake – attend church and read your Bible.
