How appropriate is my writing for today right? " Power of Meeting?" Today is Sunday, a day when most probably other churches and the body of my church congregation meets up! Perfect! How funny God can get at times. Right? :)
Ok, i just tried to think of different reasons why I personally like to go to church. Here is what I came up with.
The first reason we should like to go to church is for encouragement. Folks, I don't know about you guys but after a long week it's nice to be around encouraging people. It's good for us to go to a place where the vibe is encouraging. People who smile, take time to pray with you and for you. Being around people who genuinely care about your well-being. A hug from our brothers and sisters in Christ is always a good feeling too!
The second reason is definitely for prayer. I know you guys can just ask for prayer over the phone or electronically. However, it's more personal I think if they're praying for you in person. You can talk more in depth about it. You can be comforted if you're unable to hold back Deep Emotion. In person prayer is just different and definitely more loving/ comforting. At least I think.
The third reason amongst probably many more is because of the obvious. And that is we go to church for the teaching. I'm referring to either Sunday School morning classes or the sermon from your pastor. I get that you can possibly get it electronically.Or, you think something to the effect of ( " I don't need to go to church to get some teaching. I'll just read the Bible. Or, I don't have to get out of the house! I can just find a channel on TV that shows a church service and again probably even biblical musical numbers as well!)
Sorry friends, that is a major fail. That is a major no no! I personally feel in my heart and I know I need to be in attendance when I go to church. I've mentioned some reasons why I believe that is true. I am not God. So, I have no right to judge other people and their choice on whether or not to go to church. I'm just expressing my opinion of why I believe I should go to church. Please do not think I am placing any judgment or harsh thoughts on other people who don't choose to go to church.
Again, I completely understand that all of you guys have your own opinions and beliefs. And, I can only respect them and respect your choices. I have my own as well and I can only hope that you guys will offer the same respect as well.

Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Matthew 18:20 ESV
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
