Bible Note: Kalos is right. But you seem to be confused about what constitutes corporate worship and what is merely Christian fellowship. I myself have never observed Bible study, prayer, singing of hymns, observance of the Lord's Supper or anything of the kind taking place on the golf course, at the fishing hole, the theater, or in any other strictly recreational environments. The house of worship is a place apart, designed for and dedicated to worship. This is not to say that it must be an ornate cathedral, but it must be a place at which Christians meet for the purpose of worship. The golf course is a place where people meet also. But it is generally assumed they meet there to play golf, not to worship. When I mow my lawn, I simply mow my lawn. I do not consider it in any manner an act of worship. My remarks may neither dazzle nor exude great brilliance but they are, I believe, laden with a dab of common sense. --Hank |
