What's The Purpose Of Your Visits?

If people don't listen to God, do you think they will listen to man?

If they are listening to God, then why do they need to listen to man?

I am merely answering a friend who ask why I rarely go to church these days?

Fellowship and encouragement? How do you fellowship and encourage each other? Pray for each other? What happened when fellowship and encouragement involve money? A lot of us have no problem participating in fellowship and encouragement as long as money is not involved.

People go to church for selfish reasons and not because they wanted to be a part of God's love at the cross in his son Jesus. We are in church to expect some form of blessings from God.

Perhaps people should learn to enjoy being in church because of God's love for each of us, his church, his family. Going to church is a family affair- Christs' love must exist in each of us to be a a part of the bigger church which is Christ body. We are knitted into him because God first knitted us into Himself by his love at the cross.

No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church. And we are members of his body. This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. Ephesians 5:29, 32

When you understand God's love in our Saviour Jesus at the cross for you and what is church, then the meaning of going to church establish an absolute contrast in your mind-set. Then going to church is a totally different experience.

Bear in mind that God build his church which is you and me because of his amazing love for us; similarly when we are in his church, we build each other in his love because his love is alive in us!

If God's love doesn't exist in our hearts in all our accomplishments, then everything is done in vain 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Let's not simply say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions 1 John 3:18

Trust me, I am not harboring any form of bitterness towards the church or anyone in particular- I am still attending church; only my church is different from your church

When you know the truth, you will live for the truth!
