1 John 3:14 says: " We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren." Being in fellowship is a proof that you are indeed a child of God. Not going to church is a proof that something is wrong with you spiritually. Some will say "I'm so over the church; people are critical and judgmental. It's so full of hypocrites!" My response to that is: "There is always room for one more!" Understand, I am not justifying hypocrisy of any kind, but honestly, we have all been hypocritical at times. But that is not a reason to not attend church. The church has its flaws because people are in it. However, Jesus both started and loves the church. He died for it.Studies show that if you don't go to church for a month, the odds are almost 2 to 1 that you won't go for more than a year. Being a vital and active part of the church is something we pass on to our kids. A study once disclosed that: If both Mom and Dad attend church regularly, 72% of their children remain faithful in attendance; if only Dad attends regularly, 55% remain faithful; if only Mom attends regularly, 15% remain faithful; and if neither attend regularly, only 6% remain faithful.What legacy will you leave your kids? Your grandchildren? Are you committed to demonstrating to them that going to church is important? Attend the Church of HIS choice this Lord's Day.
