Let’s start with this fact: I don’t think anyone should attend Sunday worship because they feel guilty about not going to church. It’s my hope and prayer that everyone who comes each Sunday does so ready to celebrate God’s grace. I hope people come to worship with joyful hearts, eager to learn more about God as Creator, Provider and Redeemer. I hope people come to pray and sing God’s praises.
Perhaps people who regularly attend Sunday worship haven’t found time in their busy schedules, they’ve made time to join the church community as it gathers for worship.
What’s the difference between finding time for church and making time? I think when you make time for church, you are taking the initiative. You are demonstrating an intention to place the worship of God as a top priority. Making time for church is an active decision that indicates you control your schedule. Finding time for worship suggests you may be more controlled by your schedule than you are the person in control.
