To not forsake the Sabbath day, to keep it Holy, is to keep it set apart. It is to forego what you wish to do, and submit and worship God in the manner in which He has commanded.

While it may be pleasing to us to worship God in a way that we see fit, the Sovereign is not so amused, as He has revealed in Scripture. Did He not slay those two who offered up profane fire? Surely they wished to worship in the manner that they saw fit, but this is not what God delighted in. They knew the rules, but thought that they knew a better way. They were disciplined or punished, depending on their status before Him.

This self-centered worship is open rebellion; it is claiming that God's ways are not the only ways, that we have a better way than His. Such an idea should be abhorrent to the believer who delights in the ways of God. Surmising that on can "go to church" on their own terms is a dangerous way of thinking, as it holds not God's edict in reverent esteem, but rather places it on the par, or even in subjection to our own whims and desires.
