Lesson To Teach

Grace Happens worship time has in the past few weeks have been wonderful. We went to Los Angeles as a church and spent quality time together, with other family members, friends, and Mickey Mouse.

How in God's name can I say we had worship and vacation at the same time if we didn't go to a Christian place of worship?
Answer: Do you think Jesus had a time management schedule detailing when one should have church and not? I don't think so but correct me if you feel I am wrong. I believe churches need to rethink the whole "WE" need to have service on Sundays. Yes, those who know me know I am Jewish and even Jews worship on Friday night to separate the week from the weekend and remember G-d's goodness. Imagine for a moment if Jesus send a telegram from Heaven saying, "Churches, remember I am your leader, and where you go I am with you whether it is a Sunday, Wednesday, or Tuesday. Oh and by the way I never indicated anywhere you have to set aside a place of worship to worship." I think we get so caught up with needing to be in church on a Sunday or as a Jew on a Friday night/Saturday morning to fulfill our human need and be relieved G-d will "yet again love me for another week".
I am training my children to have church daily. What does that mean? It means you don't have to schedule a date with God to pray, to do an act of kindness, or share the love of God. Church is going to Disneyland, or Santa Monica, or the Napa Valley to drink incredible wines and be in worship with God. How is it working for us - great. I think my kids appreciate life more now not going to a place of worship. I guess you can say it doesn't take a Sunday lesson to learn something. I think it takes being yourself to have communion with God like one does in a traditional church.
