Pew Potatoes

Everyone knows what a couch potato is. It’s someone sitting in front of the TV, completely zoning out on their show, with chips, snacks and drinks nearby. They don’t do any work, and they don’t exercise what they have.

We have in our churches what some would call “pew potatoes”. They sit in their pew (same seat every Sunday) zoning out on being a “Christian”. They think attending church is ministry. They demand to get fed by the pastor and staff, but don’t want to open their own Bible or spend any real time with God. They, also, don’t want to do any work, and don’t exercise what they have.

How did they get this way? Why do we have some whole churches like this? Our walk with God is about us and Him, and about us serving our God and our brothers. It’s about doing! Get off your pew.
