Hebrews 10:25 - "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
Do you know what is happening in America today? People who claim to be Christians are not getting involved and becoming faithful to a church -- the local fellowship of believers. Such a thing was unheard of in the Bible. If you were a Christian, you were faithful to the fellowship. You attended when everyone gathered together. If you stopped attending, they assumed that you were an apostate. What is more important than the local visible expression of the body of Christ? It is the way we stay "plugged in" to the needs of the body of Christ. It is the way we show honor to Him in worship. It is simply the way.
What do you have on your schedule this week that is more important than being a part of the blood-bought body of the Lord Jesus Christ? The church is a very special place to be. I am not talking necessarily about the building. The church is made up of born again baptized believers in Jesus Christ.

Going to church will build your faith, strengthen each other in fellowship and God said He would always be with us as we meet together for worship.
