I think this is great; a step in the right direction—answered prayer possibly. Have you noticed something of a common denominator here? The churches canceling their morning services are seeker-sensitive or emergent in nature. So be of good cheer! At least one Sunday out of the year, we should be grateful that those churches won’t be spreading their usual dumbed-down, self-focused, trying to be culturally relevant, non-biblical, skewed theology to their attendees. This is a blessing in disguise, trust me. Now, if we could only just find another 51 reasons for canceling their services… it could really have a positive spiritual impact on our nation and evangelicalism-at-large. Until then, thank the Lord for this small, but early Christmas gift in the form of an ecclesiastical stocking stuffer, if you please.Ouch, Steve!
Also, Tim Challies chronicles Joshua Harris' decision to cancel services on December 25th, and then his cancellation of his cancellation.
My home-town church cancelled Dec 25th services (I think), but their having 3 Saturday evening services instead. Frankly, I'd rather go to church Saturday nights anyway. Even if you're a keeper of the Lord's Day, didn't the Sabbath start at nightfall?
At any rate, I'll be in Galena, kickin' it at the GBC Christmas morning before driving back to Rockford for an afternoon of ping-pong and familial skylarking.
