Just watched the movie "Hot Tub Time Machine".  Hmmm.  Aside from the potty humor and excessive naughty bits, the movie offers the standard "rewind your life and start over, except do it better this time" plot.   Sooooo....here's the deal.  If you have a true relationship with Christ, I mean like you're sitting in a jail cell in a communist country and are at peace kind of relationship with Christ, there is simply no need to ever rewind and do it better, cause things really can't get any better from that point.  So in the end, I think that the movie was just another attempt by the world to do what only Christ can, which is set things right and to the point where you never want to "go back".

Leave the family at home...

Ok you show up to a new church (denomination withheld), like the people and get a good vibe.  So you start attending services.  Then after a few visits, you are asked to volunteer to teach bible classes or get more involved with SOMETHING!  (For those of you who have attended the same church for the last 50 years, this may not apply to you, however I have noticed that most churches are hurting when it comes to filling the positions available.)

Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad thing, and if there is a need, then there is a need.  But, I wonder if the people who are doing the asking are simply latching onto anyone who will respond to them or if they are truly letting God fill that need?

After all, as far as I can tell He has always taken care of my needs, why would it be different for the church?  (Perhaps, the need is not so bad after all.  Just a thought.)

Anyway, what I am getting at is this: When it comes to attending services, I would like to simply show up and worship God at church without having to work.

Some of you readers may be having a difficult time with this concept, but after all, it is the day of rest that we are talking about here.
