[Today is the 36th anniversary of my ordination. After pastoring a few years
following grad school in Dec 1970, my church asked me to stand for
ordination. We also brought our firstborn son home from the hospital that
day – what a joyous (and stressful) day! Was thinking about that when I came
on these statistics]
Avoid riding in automobiles. Automobiles are responsible for 27% of all
fatal accidents.
But do not stay home. 22% of all accidents occur in the home. And stay out
of the bathroom, where more than 50% of the home-accidents happen.
Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks. 14% of all accidents occur to
pedestrians.
Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water. 16% of all fatal accidents involve
these.
Eating (choking, allergies, poison) results in another 18% of accidental
deaths.
You will be pleased to learn that only .001% of all deaths occur in worship
services at church, and these are usually related to previous physical
disorders.
Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place to be at any given point in
time is at church. Bible study is safe too. The percentage of deaths during
Bible study or prayer is even less.
For safety’s sake, attend Church, read your Bible, and pray … IT COULD
SAVE YOUR LIFE (and your Soul)!
