We can make of the Christian Science church services we attend merely casual, perfunctory experiences, or we can make of them holy, uplifting, healing, redemptive experiences. Which shall it be?
Do we feel that just taking the body to church and plunking it in a pew takes care of our obligation? Do we say, in effect, "Here I am God—go ahead and bless me!" If we are reluctantly present physically and are stubbornly absent mentally, what profiteth it us? Does a physically present deaf ear help us? Or anyone else?
Do we attend church because we think we should, because we fear that if we don't, we're going to get chastised for it sometime? Or are we drawn by the irresistible, all-loving attraction of Spirit?
