FINFF (FINFF Is Not Friday Five)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 1:12 AM

Michael has made a little Friday Five replacement now that Friday Five is dead. I thought I'd give it a try.

1. Do you read your Bible everyday??
I certainly try to, although I'm ashamed to admit I don't do as well as I intend to. I'm currently a month behind on my “read through the Bible in a year” Bible.

2. Do you pray everyday??
Yes. I try to pick regular times too — that helps a lot. I need to do the same for Bible reading.

3. Do you attend church every week?
Yup.

4. Do you think we have too many stores and such open on Sunday?
I'd say so. I don't see why there shouldn't be a day of rest. People don't do well on a 24×7x365 schedule… I suspect that's why stress and such are so high now a days. Of course no one wouldn't want to admit the Bible was right about this…

5. Have you ever had to work on Sunday? How do you feel about it.
Yes, and I have come to realize that this was a mistake. Not Sunday itself, but not setting a side a day of rest. (I say this because while I try to make Sunday somewhat of a day of rest, I don't think we should stick to a legalistic preference for Sunday — if we get technical, Saturday seems more logical, but it's best to avoid that pickiness altogether, I think.)

Re: #5 About the only paycheck I get comes from working on Sunday as church staff. I am largely retired (disabled), so I get lots of rest during the week, instead. :-)

Seriously, the questions all point to at least a semblance of holiness. Someone once said something like this: “If you are truly concerned about holiness, you have generally succeeded in being holy.”
