WWJD...WWJS
I've been struggling with this for awhile...
Church vs. Sunday-outings.
I thought everything was going swell, reserving a day a week with God, meeting in a sanctuary and singing with all of God's other children...
But really... the thought that 'one day for God is enough' has been causing me to not be as devoted on the rest of the week.
I still do quiet time every night...
I count my blessings and delight in every single one...
But now... this longing to spend Sunday outside Church is driving me nuts...
Usually, it's Church, then off to floorball training...
Now...
I wish it was 'Sunday-Outing' (preferably at a Beach) then off to floorball training...
When I asked my parents about it, they both of them promptly said, "How can you be like that? Sunday is for God... You know your priorities... blah blah..." (they would have continued had I not reminded them that neither of them has stepped into a church and sat through a service for the past 10 years...)
I've got no excuse...
It's just that I really want my Sundays free so I can use it for other activities.
I keep feeling all guilty about it, and I know what a 'modal Christian' would do...
I don't know...
Can't even pray about it because the guilty feeling will come back again...
But then again... the knowledge that God is in my heart and that he is therefore with me in any and every situation... is helping...
What Would Jesus Do?
What Would Jesus Say?
Damn... with the study of sociology... can't help thinking that we're socialised into thinking our answers to those 2 questions...
