Like it or not, God Himself designed us for spiritual community. Keeps us accountable, among countless other blessings. You only hurt yourself when you don't make it your "custom" to regularly attend church each Sabbath as Jesus and Paul and so many others did.
Takes me back to about 1983 when this song was on the radio every time you turned around. 16 months straight at #1, I believe. I never could have guessed that I’d be singing lead for them 30 years later (2011-2018). Always a Kingsmen!
You know about a decade ago at the church I go to faith Baptist church a group of singers from the Pensacola Christian college used to come by to perform at my church and this is 1of the songs they would sing
@@allengina1091 Total and utter BS. Nobody needs an excuse to stay away from church. It is a total timewaster. Instead you could do something worthwhile in your community, help people in need for example.

Excuses / Lyrics Excuses, excuses, you'll hear them every day. And the Devil he'll supply them, if the church you stay away. When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses. In the summer it's too hot. And, in the winter, it's too cold. In the spring time when the weather's just right, you find some place else to go. Well, it's up to the mountains or down to the beach or to visit some old friend. Or, to just stay home and kinda relax and hope that some of the kin folks will start dropping in. Well, the church benches are too hard. And, that choir sings way too loud. Boy, you know how nervous you get when you're sitting in a great big crowd. The doctor told you, "Now, you better watch them crowds. They'll set you back." But, you go to that old ball game because you say "it helps you to relax." Well, a headache Sunday morning and a backache Sunday night. But by worktime Monday morning, you're feeling quite alright. While one of the children has a cold, "Pneumonia, do you suppose?" Why the whole family had to stay home, just to blow that poor kid's nose. Excuses, excuses, you'll hear them every day. And the Devil he'll supply them if the church you stay away. When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses. Well, the preacher he's too young. And, maybe he's too old. The sermons they're not hard enough. And, maybe they're too bold. His voice is much too quiet-like. Sometimes he gets too loud. He needs to have more dignity. Or, else he's way too proud. Well, the sermons they're too long. And, maybe they're too short. He ought to preach the word with dignity instead of "stomp and snort." Well, that preacher we've got must be "the world's most stuck up man." Well, one of the lady's told me the other day, "Well, he didn't even shake my hand." Excuses, excuses, you'll hear them every day. And the Devil he'll supply them if the church you stay away. When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses. So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses. Well, the sermons they're too long. And, maybe they're too short. He ought to preach the word with dignity instead of "stomp and snort."

Great transcript of the song text. You might consider the one error I found...Excuses, excuses you'll hear them every day, now the devil he'll supply them if from church you'd stay away...
You are blessed being with your dad going to Church. I also go to Church with my family back then and there were so much fun because before worship and after worship we talk with my friends. God loves you! Thank you Tracy.
the Church of Jesus refers to Christians and the Fellowship with each other while serving the Lord. The Church is the Bride of Christ When He returns the Marriage of the Lamb will Happen. Amen! The Church has never been about a Building. God and His Son Jesus Christ will always be enough for Me . Well said !!!!
We're designed by God for spiritual community. Keeps us accountable, among countless other spiritual benefits. Jesus went to church. You're just making more excuses like the song says! 😂
You don't have to go to church in order to be saved. Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
That's true. But you still SHOULD be in church. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
But you still need to Hear and Obey God, To stay in Fellowship with, IF you want to go to Heaven. Matthew 7:21 (KJV) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Remember, no one is perfect, and when you're in church, you're worshipping and showing your love for the Lord. So, please don't let people get in your way and be your excuse for not demonstrating publically that you're on God's side.
I get that people suck sometimes, oftentimes in fact. But blaming the church instead of finding a new church is honestly pathetic. There are millions of churches all over the world. Find a friendly one hear you. You're just making more excuses.

What a classic!
This one takes me back to my childhood, in a small country church where the pastor was the lead singer
Wow! Nice to hear it. Talented Pastor. My Pastor sings well too and he taught us guitar lesson too.
BEAUTIFUL SONG

Lyrics
Excuses, excuses, you'll hear them every day.
And the Devil he'll supply them, if the church you stay away.
When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses
So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses.
In the summer it's too hot. And, in the winter, it's too cold.
In the spring time when the weather's just right, you find some place else to go.
Well, it's up to the mountains or down to the beach or to visit some old friend.
Or, to just stay home and kinda relax and hope that some of the kin folks will start dropping in.
Well, the church benches are too hard. And, that choir sings way too loud.
Boy, you know how nervous you get when you're sitting in a great big crowd.
The doctor told you, "Now, you better watch them crowds. They'll set you back."
But, you go to that old ball game because you say "it helps you to relax."
Well, a headache Sunday morning and a backache Sunday night.
But by worktime Monday morning, you're feeling quite alright.
While one of the children has a cold, "Pneumonia, do you suppose?"
Why the whole family had to stay home, just to blow that poor kid's nose.
Excuses, excuses, you'll hear them every day.
And the Devil he'll supply them if the church you stay away.
When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses
So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses.
Well, the preacher he's too young. And, maybe he's too old.
The sermons they're not hard enough. And, maybe they're too bold.
His voice is much too quiet-like. Sometimes he gets too loud.
He needs to have more dignity. Or, else he's way too proud.
Well, the sermons they're too long. And, maybe they're too short.
He ought to preach the word with dignity instead of "stomp and snort."
Well, that preacher we've got must be "the world's most stuck up man."
Well, one of the lady's told me the other day, "Well, he didn't even shake my hand."
Excuses, excuses, you'll hear them every day.

Thank you!
@@allengina1091This song is so truthful, but importantly, this song is so funny!! Where did this version come from?
They did another song called More Excuses. Does anyone have it?
Lol
What album is this version of this song on?
"All time favorites Album: by Kingsmen
I'm thinking the Beverly Hillbillies here, if they sand a religious song on the show, LOL
God will always be enough for me and he is always with me. A building and a group of sanctimonious people aren't necessary for me.

Ole saten got lot folks believing only 2 scriptures thinking they're alright and can just go out and do anything they want and make it,😢

This song is extremely patronizing when you’ve been burnt in church several times.
Remember, no one is perfect, and when you're in church, you're worshipping and showing your love for the Lord. So, please don't let people get in your way and be your excuse for not demonstrating publically that you're on God's side.
How do you get burnt in a church ?
I get that people suck sometimes, oftentimes in fact. But blaming the church instead of finding a new church is honestly pathetic. There are millions of churches all over the world. Find a friendly one hear you. You're just making more excuses.
This song is 10000.percent
Very .true.great.job

Yes, true. Thank you.
