Saying / Proverb★★★★

If God were to take men at their word about these excuses, and swept everyone into his grave who had an excuse, there would be a very small congregation in the Tabernacle next Sunday; there would be little business in Chicago, and in a few weeks the grass would be growing on these busy streets.

The point

If God accepted every excuse for absence, churches and cities would empty out.
