What does the Bible say about making excuses for not attending worship?

In Luke 14:18, we see a parable of a great supper where invited guests all began to make excuses for not attending. The excuses made by the guests were ultimately insubstantial, as they prioritized earthly concerns over the spiritual feast prepared for them. This reflects the tendency of people to allow trivial matters to interfere with their commitment to worship and fellowship with God. The admonition serves as a reminder for Christians today to evaluate the validity of their reasons for neglecting worship, encouraging a heart that genuinely seeks after God.
