ministry is not personal, but mandatory. It is our requirment to serve God, to attend his teachings. i am debating the same thing. why is it so comfortable for Christians to feel that they are not required to attend teachings about which they play, sing or whatever arts ministry that there is. thay makes no sense to me. yes it is a sacrafice to go to church after you have had a full day at work, your kids have to be attended to, and your wife or husband has needs to. but what if God decided to half bless you the way you half go about his business. then we would have a problem because it's FAULTY; not a whole blessing, huh, Christians. well stop giving God half service. by the way, aren't we supposed to yearn for the word, have a zeal for it? TRUE Christians do. no if ands, or buts, about it. I applaud you for enforcing this, it shows that you are after the heart of GOD, not man. true annointing comes from an annointed life and not a perfect rehersal.
