Yea, good point about football.  I like football, don't get me wrong.  But when you have tickets to see "that" big game, folks will still brave the elements.  Yet when their Pastor says it's Church time, too many cite fowl weather. 

Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Jas 2:24
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
