Methodist Practice: Weekly Worship
It has always been part of the Christian practice to worship weekly with a community of other followers of Christ. One of the mantras in our culture is that one can be a Christian without attending worship or being part of a church. This may be true for the short term, but not the long. I don't know a single person who has remained a disciple of Jesus without being part of a worshiping community of other Christians.
One of the struggles in our rich culture is that so often people are gone on a weekend from their local place of worship for vacation or work. One important commitment to make to the Christian life is to be in worship once a week, even when on vacation, whenever possible. It takes extra work, but it will pay off in our life of faith.
Blessings this week, Jack
