To judge from the adverts and supplements in your favourite monthly paper, evangelical Christians are not averse to a few days' holiday now and then, notably in August.
This is not a criticism; the Old Testament Hebrews had plenty. Travel was at ground level but time off was generous. We assume that EN readers will also keep Sunday special by (among other things) meeting with fellow-believers, maybe in one of the advertised assemblies. We have sampled the 'Churches Away' to our profit and joy.
A parable?
Now the kingdom of heaven is like this. Two readers went up to the chapel to pray. And one returned home and said: 'It was really very disappointing. I suppose the sermon was all right, and they did make me welcome, but (would you believe it?) I didn't know a single one of the hymns!'
