The Church, a Sabbath, and me

Yesterday there was a fantastic discussion of "so what exactly is church and what should it be" and "what is a Sabbath anyway and do you observe it" at Bible study. It all began with a look at Psalm 84 and quickly moved onto the tangent at hand.

I recall Mark discussing Sabbath a ways back and then again more recently. In one of his dramatized version, RLP states "the Sabbath was made for people and not the other way around." Steve posted on "Why go to church", quoting Brian McLaren. I'm sure that this concept will come up as we discuss church over the next few weeks.

The question is this: Do you long to gather with other believers in such a fashion that is known as 'church'? If not, why? I sometimes find issue with church ... which proves slightly problematic. For the church is people -- people like me. So rather than bemoan the church collective, I ought to petition God to change me and be proactive in that same process. Join with me in this grassroots movement to revive the church from its slumber.
