Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.I pity the people who consciously decide to avoid going to church. Have heard all the excuses and, in years past, have used a few.
But to the bottom line, as a stroke survivor: When I needed fellow Christians, they carried me with love through recovery and beyond.
Church is not the most important thing in the world, by any means - God is the ultimate importance. But a good church is a conduit to a better relationship with God. If you haven't found a church home, find the one that helps you build that relationship. In the final analysis, that relationship is what life is about, the reason you - all of us - exist.
In the right place, churchgoers learn from each other and lean on each other. Together, they explore deeper and deeper into faith. They find answers and push into even more complicated questions. Without a support system, we only play in the shallow pools of faith. With fellow believers we can love and trust, we can explore the depths of faith and understanding.
