What If We Used The Same Excuses For Work As Church?

So...quick thoughts for the day. Just for kicks I was wondering what it would be like if we used some of the same excuses "church"people use for church, week in and week out, and applied them to their everyday work/job (For the record, this is not including vacations, sickness, and logit stuff)

- "What a night last night!! or I was so tired from last night and just wanted to sleep in"
- "Not going there today because of that one person or group of people"
- "It is too early to be there"
- "It's not entertaining enough so why bother"
- "It's been a long week, so I needed a day off"
- "There are two-faced people there"
- "The music/atmosphere doesn't suit me "
- "We have to be there for at least an hour?!"


I know it is a stretch in some aspects..but what if we used these every week for our job. We might not feel like going or even want to go to the job some days. But, we know going there will provide us sustainability to live or help keep our families alive. What if we applied that to going to church? We might not get paid with money or even by physical means, but what about "paid" or satisfied spiritually? Just a quick thought for the day.
