Tripp Hudgins muses on his own experience growing up not going to church. He points out that there are other ways to spend Sunday mornings.
If I pine for anything it is fishing and sleeping in. I pine for breakfast with my family and wonder if life-long Christians recognize that going to church on Sunday mornings is to sacrifice all the other possible nurturing and beautiful human interactions that avail themselves on Sunday morning. As radical as this might seem to many ecclesial pundits, going to church is to give up community. It is to sacrifice family and relationships. It is to lose time with your spouse.
The word sabbath has a much different meaning than a single day and should make us think about the practice of our sabbath. Thank you for an insightful and thought-provoking post.
