How many times have you attended a worship service? How many times have you attended when you felt like staying home? Have you ever wondered if there might be a different way to approach worship than to file into the church building three times a week, week after week after week?
A lot of congregations have experimented with altering the approach to worship and Bible study. Some no longer meet on Sunday and Wednesday nights while others meet in homes of members on those evenings. It is interesting to know that most of these have gone back to the “regular” routine or wish they could.
The simple truth is that the assemblies should be a vital part of our Christian development and the more we attend the more we should develop in ways God wants us to develop.
It is only natural for us to be tired and draggy from time to time as we walk through the door of the church building. Our schedules at home and on the job are tough. But if we have the right attitude and the right frame of mind, and the leaders have planned for the assemblies to provide careful, continuation of Bible truths, it will make a difference and we’ll be better for it, week after week after week.
