How many times have you asked someone why they missed a church service and the reply be, "I've had a rough week," or "It was a crazy day," etc? There are lots of reasons to not be in church, some of them justified, but most of them excuses. Again, I say most, because not everyone skips church for reasons of stolidity. The thing I find interesting, and most times discouraging, is that when people have hard days or rough weeks, usually the first thing that gives is church attendance. I know most see where I'm headed with this, so I won't take up your time reading my diatribes.
My question (this is where you participate) is why is this so?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
My question (this is where you participate) is why is this so?
-Does a 'crazy week' justify church absence or should that be more of an incentive for us to attend church?
-What DOES justify missing church: ballgame, headache, lack of sleep the night before, etc...?
-Has our culture or your own drive / ambition / personality determined what's more important than church attendance?
-Is church attendance really as important as most people seem to think it is? If so, why? If not, why not?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
