• Sundays

  

  Sundays are…busy. Among other ministries during the week, on Sundays: my wife is part of the praise-worship team, and I am often an usher. There is such busy-ness at church, especially because almost everyone I know is involved in one ministry or another. And, it is not often that I feel that this is truly the Lord’s Sabbath Day for me or, sometimes, even for my friends here.

  While Pastors are encouraged to—and rightfully do—take one other day to be their Sabbath (sometimes, on Mondays) to rest in the Lord, we don’t. I think it is very important to remember that. And yet, the workers are indeed few…everywhere.

  If we ever get to the place where what we do is an Orthodox performance without love, that’s step one, and Satan has a foothold.
  Pastor John MacArthur, Jr. | Satan’s Attacks on the Spirit-Filled Church

  So, it is with utter joy to hear recent sermons, like the ones from visiting pastors King-Fai Choi (of CBCGB) and David Koo emphasize the importance of just worshipping God on Sundays rather than applying to church our worldly knowledge of how to do things successfully in the world (and thereby corrupt our worship of God).

  I pray for healing, renewal and growth.
