Common excuses students make and how to answer them

We hear excuses for things all the time. Sometimes they're legitimate, sometimes not. Today we'll discuss what some of the common ones are that we hear and how to answer them, excuses like: I couldn't come to youth group because I had homework. I'm too busy to spend time with God. The missions trip costs too much money for me to go. I never knew about the event. I don't know anyone who's going on the trip.
