Tim Challies posted about his appreciation for Sunday evening worship, traditionally the second time Christian churches gathered to worship.
Among the other reasons for his support for worshipping twice with God’s people on Sunday was this one:
IT IS COUNTERCULTURAL
An evening service counters our culture’s obsession with convenience and low commitment in matters of family, life and religion. It can be downright difficult to get the family out the door once on a Sunday, not to mention twice and your neighbors will be convinced that you’re crazy for doing it. Let them! The evening service also counters our Christian culture of expecting little from people and, for that reason, being intimidated to ask much from them. Experience shows that when a church sets the expectation for the evening service, the people rise to it and soon wouldn’t have it any other way.
So, join with that bastion of countercultural disciples of Jesus at mgpc tomorrow evening and join the revolution.
In corporate worship.
