The Sabbath is a day of rest, created for us to be able to rest and unwind after a hectic week. It is more that just a day to get together with friends and talk about stuff. Its for us as individuals to rest in the Lord, to sit back, go to the Lord's feet and just listen to him. To lay all our burdens down and just forget about all the stressors out there. More often than not however, we use the Sabbath as a day to show how 'holy' we are, it becomes a day that we use to show each other how much more we love the Lord by coming early and chastising those that come late, I am not saying people should come late, but we are all different and have been dealt different cards in life. You may not have problems but some people are struggling to get by and to get through. Church should be a place of rest and refuge, not a war room. The Sabbath should be a day of rest, on this day, I would like to hear sweet words of how Christ loves me and died for me. On this day I want to hear that regardless of what I am going through, Christ will cover me and come through for me. On this day, I want to be reminded that the battle is not mine but the Lords.
I might not be able to go to church every Sabbath, I do not expect to be stoned for it. Sabbath rest to me does not mean going to church every Sabbath. The God I serve meets me at my point of need, not only in church.
I do go to church and I love and enjoy worshipping with the other saints :-)
