One caveat--Jesus may not have went to temple often (not too many Jews in Galilee did) but what of Luke 4:16? However, I agree with the assessment of your article--I do wonder though if there are moments in our early walks where we have to learn to do things at times out of a sense of duty before it can develop into delight. Not at all meaning the church should push this on members--but if it is one of those things that needs to be learned and will prove beneficial and then duty will be lost to delight?

this was for the blog on attendance don't know how it ended up here
On this blog I typically post audio devotionals, Bible study notes or resources that I'm working on for use at the Otisville Church of Christ, where I preach, or short articles about ministry and church leadership. Occasionally I post a book review.
For more regular "microblogging," or to connect with me online, do so at Twitter or Facebook.
I upload and post my sermon from Sunday each Monday. You can find sermons and an RSS link at my Sermons page. You can listen to sermons online or download them in MP3 format.
Although I work for the Otisville Church of Christ in Otisville, Michigan, this blog represents my own thoughts and does not necessarily correspond to the views and workings of the Otisville Church of Christ.
