The Importance of weekly worship (following the "church planters" post)

American revivalist theologian Jonathan Edwards wrote that one of the purposes of sabbath worship is to set Christians apart and make us identifyable so that we will have a visible presence in our world.

People tell me all the time that they don't know HOW to do evangelism. They would if they could. If only (insert sarcastic smile here) there was a way to get people to ask us about our faith. There is. Commit to regular (every Sunday) worship. You'll have to turn down all kinds of invitations. Friends and family will want to know why. That's your chance.... This is not the time to be all preachy. A simple explanation will do. "That's when I go to church and for me weekly worship is a vital part of my devotion to God." Simple. Straightforward. And you didn't bring it up.
