Excuses- for not going to Church. - The church is full of hypocrites. - I don’t fit in. There’s no one else like me. - I have a close relationship with God and don’t need church. - I study the Bible on my own at home. - The church will judge me. The longer you stay away from church, the easier it will be to continue to do so. And the truth is, the journey back into God’s house is a long, hard one.Even then, the urge to withdraw is strong. You convince yourself that you do not fit in, no one understood, and others would judge. There isnt one who will read this who hasnt come dangerously close to falling away from church or actually did so. John 10:10 tells us that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Do we really understand that? Do we understand that the very existence of Satan is to destroy our hope? To kill our confidence? To steal our fellowship? He would like nothing more than to convince us that we do not need the church. Yet, Hebrews 10:24-25 is clear. We are to look for ways to motivate one another in Christ and not avoid church. Why is that? Can we not love the Lord if we do not attend church? Does church attendance in some way make us more saved? Of course not. We know God’s grace through Jesus’ blood saves us. But if we do not gather together, how do we get edified, encouraged, and challenged? How do we remain accountable? The organized gathering together of God’s people is his design for our Christian growth. We need it. With droves of teens falling away from church, single parents remain one of the biggest unchurched people groups in Canada and USA, and with thousands of others claiming no religion at all, it is crucial that the body of Christ stay connected to the house and become passionate about getting others there. Church attendance doesnt save you. But life is found in God’s house. It’s where encouragement is found. Friendships are formed. Lives are challenged. So, if Church be church then attend, you may be pleasantly surprised. Do it for yourself.
