Still, there is a lot of symbolism in the show, that has sparked a lot of awesome spiritual debates with my unsaved husband as well as others. In fact, I am currently writing a "blog" of sorts on a different forum called "Spiritual Things I have learned from Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

Have any of you "all the time, 4 services a week" folks ever stopped to consider that maybe church isn't as enjoyable for others as it is for you? Y'all go so much because it's something you really enjoy doing a lot of.

Rico...you're way off base. There are plenty of times when I am dead-tired and want to do anything except attend church at that particular time.

I also feel the same way sometimes about praying in the morning when I get up...plenty of days when I'd rather curl back up in bed and go back to sleep.

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.

One a year was enough in the Old Covenant. Course, they didn't fare to well... Oh well, it was a thought...

I love going to church.My scedule doesn't allow alot of church time lately but I am applying for new jobs.
I don't want to get to the place where I don't find church a joy.That puts up red warning lights for me.I ask myself when I am in that low place why? Maybe the pillar of cloud has moved and I am still camped in the same place.
I love the fellowship of God's people and worship not to mention good bible teaching.There is a spiritual thing that happens to us when we sit under true
apostolic teaching.Our faith is raised and deliverance comes.Nothing is too hard for the Lord.
