Deadlines to meet, quotas to fill, paperwork to get done. The list of household chores grows longer every week. Barely time for a family meal, let alone an evening devotion. Little wonder that our sicknesses are mostly stress related. We are busy people.
Congregations can be busy places too.
There is always work to do, and always too few people to do it. Sometimes the work piles up so much that it even overshadows worship. That must never be. Worship always comes first in the Christian congregation. It's why God gathers a congregation in the first place, so that we can sit at the feet of Jesus and hear His Word.
