Serving God, and assembling together when you can (within reason) should be important to us.
Being late and or on a consistent basis means that Church/God isn't that important.

JMHO Though.

That of course doesn't apply to people who may have jobs that prevent them, or other emergencies.

I mean chronic latebugs.

I actually mentioned this while teaching Wednesday night.

But church is not God. Why call it putting an Idol before church.

If I were to hear such an opinion from a Pastor today?........ sounds cult like

Many have put the Church, Pastor And Org. before God.

Church is not God.

I refuse to be a mindless church zealot.

You are correct to a point.
It is a place where we saints gather together and worship God, be taught of him, and serve others.
Everything may be going great in your life, but perhaps a Brother or Sister would benefit from your attendance?

I agree with you on this.

A home Church would be cool..........I think.

Well, assembling together with others of like precious faith is always good.

Just how prompt and concerned for the minute do you think they were in New Testament times? Let's not be sending us to hell who run on our own clock......

Am always right on time...............Weaver time that is!

Again I agree!


As someone said it is selfish to be always late; according to Dr. Phil.

I mean as long as we show up whats the problem. We're giving. we're involved.

At work I jump in (when I get there) and do my job.

15 min. maybe a 1/2 hr shouldn't be that big of a deal right?

We start late ALL the time, except maybe Sunday Morning..

Being on time to me is about discipline. We need to be a disciplined church if we are to be an army for God

Oh something else...if you advertise church starts at 6 and it starts really at 6:20 that's false advertisement
