Seeking the word and will of Lord Jesus
I as well as the person noted in the first post have a very difficult work schedule as far as ability to sit in a church at a time when services are normally conducted. I could lay out all my reasons, but I fail to see the point of that due to the fact that someone can always point a finger at you and say "that reason is not good enough". The person who just does not want to get out and go on Sunday vs. the person who has conditions preventing him to attend a church is person is very different as was spoken of here
What I do is this, on Sunday I watch a service from a streaming website along with my personal bible study every day, If I miss the live stream I can always watch it later. The thing that I know I am missing is the live "in person" or "face to face" fellowship with others that share your faith. Finding a decent church that teaches the bible and Jesus is one thing, to find one that teaches the bible and Jesus and gathers at non-traditional hours is another.
I think we need to be careful about putting to much effort in "procedure" then in truly seeking the word and will of Lord Jesus. Jesus spoke of the cup that was shiny and spotless on the outside, but dirty and rotten on the inside.
