Cherishing church, being cherished by God

Tony Lobl

Cherishing church doesn't always come easy. I found it particularly hard one cold winter's day, when my work had taken me some distance away from the church location. To attend church that night would entail a walk or taxi ride to the nearby railway station, a train ride, a bus ride, and another walk at the other end, not to mention getting home!

I reached a "rational" conclusion. It seemed sound to stay right where I was and spend four hours in prayerful study instead of wasting three hours in transit just to attend a one-hour service. The thought of keeping warm and comfortable was the icing on the cake.
