It isn't always about what's "enjoyable."

Although...there have been countless times when I have had to drag myself to church, but once I got there my spirits were lifted in one way or another, either by singing or by a testimony or by the Word or sometimes just by fellowshipping with my friends.

Likewise with prayer time...once I get into it, its a very rewarding and important part of my day. But my flesh doesn't always want to go there.
Right...I go often when I am really tired

I do not believe heaven will be church all the time.

I do not think God will require everyone in a constant state of worshiping at his feet.

My self; I hope to drive a Chariot of Fire across the heavens.

Maybey laydown in the field with a big lion.

Also; there will not be men telling other men what Jesus thinks.

Yeah, it would be a drag to have to worship or listen to somebody.

There are no verses about NASCAR or entertainment, though.

From what I read in Revelations, there is a lot of worship going on.

Obviously, it wasn't enough in the Jerusalem Church:

"And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved" (Acts 2:46-47).

I am not debating there will be worship.

Just the fact that I do not think it will be a constant non-stop state of endless worship.

Eye has not and ear has not heard what he has in store.
