Rescuing Sundays

"We must never, therefore, let our Sundays become mere routine engagements; in that attitude of mind, we shall trifle them away by a humdrum formality. Every Sunday is meant to be a great day, and we should approach it expectantly, in full awareness of this."
-J. I. Packer

It’s a shame that many Christians have let Sundays become a mere routine of engagements; coming, going and doing the Christian thing.

Sunday is a great day. Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday. He conquered death once and for all. He covered our sins, paid the price we so rightly deserve. He provided away for us to boldly come into the presence of the Father.

If this all was accomplished on a Sunday, then why do many Christians, even myself at times, go out of habit or obligation? Where is this love for God we are suppose to have? Are we even getting and giving the most of our Sundays? Are we worshiping with our focused on God or where we will go for lunch? Are we listening with the intent of becoming more like Christ or because its what we always do?

I really feel that we the Church need to fall in love with our Savior again… our First Love, our only love.

Rekindle that Love for Christ, and draw near to him.
