It's Sunday. Now what?Peter answers this question for us in I Peter 4:7-11. He writes:
"The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies — in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."
Of course, this passage describes how we should live all the time, not just on Sundays.
As we gather (whenever we gather), let's all use our gifts to serve one another in love that Christ will be glorified.

I'm not sure I see how this passage applies to Sunday. Sunday has always been a day of sitting and listening to somebody else and picking up your kids from Sunday School and going home. Then when we're told to live the rest of the week like we live on Sunday, the result is predictible.
Eric (Pilgram),
Yes! Yes!
Steve,
How true! Maybe some folks will be willing to challenge that idea. We can hope.
John,
Thanks!
