I have a moral dilemma - whether to stay home tomorrow and watch the footie which starts at 11:30 or go to church.
Arguments involved:
God is more important than football.
Church is not God but attendance at church rather than staying at home to watch a televised match would show that God really is more important than football
Legalism is wrong and my view towards getting to church can become legalistic
I don't know how to set the video - and anyway I want to watch it live
If I were had been more organised or were living in Suffolk there would have been no question because I would have gone to the match (church attendance will be significantly down this Sunday in Ipswich)
I want to start taking Sabbath worship more seriously
It is the most important game of the season, (unless a fluke happens and we end up in the playoff final)
I am part of the housegroup which is doing coffee, but there are other people who will be about from our housegroup who were missing last week and so I don't personally have a commitment to be there although our housegroup does
It's not one of my weeks on Sunday School or anything so no other commitments
There is always the evening service if I really want to go to church
I want to set the right example to Third Party
Please help me make my mind up (or atleast feel more comfortable about the decision I think I'm going to make). Part of me thinks that in our late modern world even having this dilemma is daft, but then part of me thinks part of the problem the Church has is that things like this aren't a dilemma anymore.
