By many Sundays they mean pretty much anytime the weather is good, well one of the people who has said this to me said that if the weather is good for fishing he wont be on a pew worshipping God but in his bass boat worshiping God.
"Nature is my Church" was just the catchy title I thought would catch peoples attention and have them to comment. I do not think that these people, or at least not all of the many people who have said such comments to me, would actually say that nature takes the place of church completly, however they seem to be presenting this idea that which takes place in the congregational worship service is no different than what happens everywhere else.
I'm searching my brain right now because I just heard a clip that is so relevant to this discussion yesterday. I cant remember if it was Micheal Horton of the White Horse Inn, or Gene Cook of the Narrow Mind. But addressing this comment they said something like "You can look at the Grand Canyon and see God, but all youre going to see is the God's wrath upon you, to see the mercy and grace you need you have to look to the gospel." The gospel is preached every week in a good church, and as christians we need to hear the gospel constantly and have our focus shifted towards it. The gospel is not only the means used by the Holy spirit to regenerate us, but also the means used to fuel us for his good works.
