Plumbing and the Glory of God

Posted in General News by David Nutting on the January 19th, 2010

One thing I’ve noticed since moving into my new house the week before Christmas is this: there is no end to the availability of home repair projects.   As I stood working on my shower on a recent Saturday, a difficult reality hit me like a carton of plumber’s putty between the eyes.   I should be helping my wife and kids get their hearts ready for worship tomorrow.  Ouch.  I wish I could say I dropped what I was doing (after all, we needed the shower to be working for Sunday morning), but I shouldn’t have started the project so late that day in the first place.  This is just one of those little practical areas where, if I think ahead better and plan my Saturday more effectively, I can be a blessing to my family and help usher them into God’s presence on the Lord’s Day.    I’d encourage you to come to our Sunday School class Raising Young Worshippers at 9am next Lord’s Day.   We’ll be talking about this very question:  How can I order my days and weeks around worshipping God?  And how can I most effectively “call the Sabbath a delight?”  (Isaiah 58:13).   Come join us in the Worship Center for this discussion!
