Pastor Asserts As Much Claim To Tuesday Evening As Sunday Morning
A pastor remarked that Tuesday night visitation ought to be as popular as Sunday morning church.
When you become a Christian in general and a church member in particular, most of the time you acquiesce to the claim that organized religion has assessed on your time on Sunday mornings.
An argument can be made that such a precedent was set to an extent by certain understandings of Scripture and solidified by the practice of tradition.
However, no such obligation exists to show up Tuesday evenings because a particular pastor has decided to fill a gap of time between Sunday and midweek Bible study or prayer meeting.
Most are able to attend Sunday morning services because the culture grants a considerable amount of free time both before and after the primary worship service.
No similar blocks of time bracket Tuesday evening visitation, a religious endeavor specifically called for nowhere in the pages of Scripture in terms of being a ritualized compulsory observation.
This activity is held right on the tail end of what would be considered a regular work day.
As such, what tasks are pastors and other religious laborers required to participate in that are more in your area of expertise not at a time of their particular choosing but rather one you bark out as an arbitrary order after completing a task particularly tiresome from their own vocation?
