Consquences of falling asleep in church

Even Paul put his congregation to sleep at times -- although he was preaching late until midnight.

Eutychus must have been sitting by the window for fresh air and to keep himself awake. Unfortunately it didn't work and he fell three stories to his death.

Acts 20:6-9 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days. 7 And upon the first [day] of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. 8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

It certainly caused Paul some alarm -- but he was able to bless and raise him from the dead.

Acts 20:10-12 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing [him] said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

In other words, Paul was very MUCH comforted that Eutychus lived.
