Bible Answer: Dear brac17070, Greetings in Jesus' name! Working on Sunday (if that is the day your church assembles) would keep you from the fellowship you need with God's people, your family in Christ. "...not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near." Hebrews 10:25 NASB. "...you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:5 NASB. In order to be healthy in the Lord, you need His Spirit, His Word (the Bible), and His House (the local church). The local church brings forth love, faith, responsiblity, gifts and ministry. (and much more!) By committing your self to a local church, and placing yourself under shepherding care, the fulness of the Gospel is made manifest, producing the fruit of the Spirit in your life. Back to job situation, it is not a legalistic thing. It is not that you may NEVER miss church. But if your job takes you away from the fellowship of the saints on a permanent or constant basis, you probably are working the wrong job! Ask if adjustments can be made, petition God to work on your behalf, make a goal (vision) of getting a more healthy lifestyle. I have seen the Lord move on behalf of those that trusted Him to make a way! Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |
