Disciplines of a Godly Man

In his "Disciplines of a Godly Man" R. Kent Hughes includes a chapter on the discipline of worship. Here he gives a helpful list for preparing ourselves to gather with the church. 

On Saturday

• I have asked Christ to make me sensitive tomorrow to needs of people in the body who are hurting.
• I have solved the “Sunday clothes hassle” by making sure that what I will wear is ready today.
• I have spent time in confession so all will be right between myself and my Lord when we meet tomorrow.
• I have determined to get to bed early so I will be refreshed and ready for church tomorrow.
• I have planned on sustaining the delight of this time with Christ and his people by guarding against Sunday afternoon infringements.

On Sunday

• I have gotten up in plenty of time so I will not feel rushed.
• I have programmed my morning so I will not just arrive at church on time, but get there early.
• I have eaten a good breakfast, so an empty stomach will not detract from my worship.
• I have my Bible in hand plus a pen and paper for taking notes.
• I have left for church with a great sense of expectancy because I know Christ will be there.
