And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

colossians 3:17, ESV

Whatever you do. Fill in the blank. Whatever is whatever. Do everything in the name of Jesus. In simple terms on this Saturday morning, this means doing everything as if Jesus was going to sign off on it. Because he is Lord.

What are you doing today? Can you do it in Jesus’ name. This is a great test. If there is no way that what you plan to do today can be done in Jesus’ name, then what you’re planning to do is sin. Sinning on Saturday and worshiping on Sunday won’t work.

Let’s assume what you’re planning today isn’t sinful. The question then is how to make it worshipful. How can you worship while washing your car, working on your honey-do list, or watching your kid play ball? This attitude will prepare you for worship on Sunday…and make Saturday better than you ever thought it could be.
