3 Reasons Why You Should GO to Church...

[@T_Gh0sty]

I don't really go to church for a few reasons. a lot of churches nowadays seem to be corrupted or teach false things, I am shy and introverted and don't find much joy in talking to people outside of my family or circle of friends, and also my parents don't go to church anymore for similar reasons. we love and serve God to the best we can but we just cant seem to find a church that is normal and truthful and is not judgemental

[@gregatkinson7276]

Exactly my position and my wife.

[@JosiahFickinger]

I mean, these are believers you're going to spend eternity with

[@favouraleph829]

But there's certainly a church out there that teaches the truth. We should let go of each other because of our weaknesses. You need the church and the church needs you because we are a big family of God with specific roles to play

I am veri antisocial even if i go to church i sociabilizing with no one but yeah its good to see fellow christians and i know we are here for each others mostly I cant prevent myself to be anti social and i dont like when peoples notice me, i am happy to have a Christian family tho

[@favouraleph829]

I am also not so social but I've found the most beautiful of God's people in the church

[@danielchoi5943]

Know that evil/ugly people are God's people too, by essence of them believing that Christ will forgive them. It is your choice to simply make the observation that you see some of God's most beautiful people in church. However much that statement is attractive to you, is probably how judgemental you would be to God's people that aren't beautiful.

[@danielchoi5943]

My question to that church and to your thought (which was likely ingrained by your church) is as to why socializing is an expectation placed upon an anti-social person as opposed to the guys who like socializing? Why are those socializing not reaching out more to those that are not connected or simply don't enjoy socializing? I ask this because in my time visiting different churches, I was either the one that was antisocial or I was the only one reaching out to those that "don't fit in". I don't think the church would recognize or accept Jesus when He comes back. I think they would reject a Christ who would forgive even the worst sinners (these "Christians" don't want the worst of sinners to be forgiven). Let us be different, always remembering the how endless the mercy of our Father was demonstrated to be when He sent Jesus to die for us.

Online Church is nice for many reasons like if a person is sick,has to work,inclement weather,transportation issues and looking at other Churches. I was always a believer growing up,but I only went to Church a handful of times as I always thought that you had to be perfect to go to Church.I started going to Church regularly in my early thirties and still going over twenty years later!I am on my third Church that I have been going to as after a while it's sometimes necessary to find a different Church for various reasons. Sometimes you have to think outside the box when looking for a Church as it is good to sometimes visit other Churches like I have over the years. I love my Church and really love singing with everyone in the congregation as it is such a powerful feeling! Again my weekend is not complete if I don't get dressed up and go to Church!

@@A-A-RonDavis2470 It's more than coincidental that I'm reading your comment today; just this afternoon, a street preacher (KZbinr) wrote me that he's part of a church group that meets in people's homes. I rather like the idea of a house church and will try to find one. (I suspect that they're scarce in my well-populated area. By me, it seems that people rely on organizational church bodies; like organizational churches in reidp646's area, those by me tend to be more progressive or, at least, more secularized when it comes to certain things.) I'm not sure that I have it in me to start a home church; I, at least, will perform a diligent search for an existing one and see what I find. (Living in a highly populated area can be akin to living in a desert; it's hard to find both non-"progressive" churches and house churches.)

What if you go to church and it’s hard just to connect with anyone, even when you go to small groups?

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

I haven't been to church in years, but I kinda feel the same way. Young adults or early 20 somethings that go to church are usually goofballs or just simply don't know enough about their faith to produce a worthwhile conversation, and I don't have time to waste on people that don't interest me. I just have such a unique set of personality traits that make it difficult to be very sociable. Had social circles and friends/acquaintances across different groups of people in high school despite being an introvert, but the adult world is different. I have such a low social battery in the first place, and that means getting annoyed easily at people that don't click with me. I still don't feel a real pull to go to my local church that we've been to off and on for many years.

[@iamieeesha9619]

I have this same issue but I learned recently in a Tony Evans sermon that if you want something then give something to get it back in return. This means putting effort into connecting to someone in the church with the same issue as you in hopes that God sees your service to provide you a support system you can engage with. I've made it my mission to seek to serve others rather than have others serve my needs. I hope this helps and encourages you all. God bless!

[@patdo4452]

I get how you feel. My advice: stop focusing on groups. Start small. Look for people at church who are alone or single. Try to connect with them. Maybe ask them to go to lunch after church or organize a night out for the singles at church. Another great way to get to know people is through serving. Look for a ministry you're interested in, like greeting people, the nursery, the audio dept. That helped me to get to know people as well. Give it some time and pray to the Lord for guidance. Maybe He has you at that church for a specific reason. If not, ask Him to guide you to the right church. Whatever you do, don't give up un church. Just find the right one.

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

@@thekid6244 Catholicism has DEEP roots in demonic worship. On the contrary, I don't consider myself "Protestant". The whole basis behind "confession", needing to talk about your sin and business to another man who can't do anything for you, and they justify their "absolving of sins" complex by a verse in the Bible where Jesus was talking to the disciples. Only Jesus Christ needs to hear about your problems and humble yourself so you can give those to Him, and Jesus is the only One to absolve you of your sins, not man. The Catholics' reverence for Mary is disgusting and it's idol worship. The churches have statues, idols, and images of gods and people that you are told to worship. The priests are the ones to interpret the Bible, not the actual followers. Just like Mormonism, which is also highly demonic. The fact that you have to "be perfect" and "not sin" so that you can work your way to Heaven is legalism and religion. It's demonic. We are saved by grace, not works. I can keep going about how Catholicism is in the pocket of Satan himself, and I will only follow Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, not a church, and not a human.

[@JesusIsKing844]

@@thekid6244well for starters Catholics removed the real second commandment (don’t worship graven/carved images) and split the tenth in half, they GENUINELY believe the bread and wine of communion are His real body (therefore bringing Him back to the cross when He died once and for all), the pope prays to Mary (as do many), they idolize communion and baptism (while both are incredibly important, you don’t baptize babies because it’s a personal decision to signify being born again), most aren’t born again when Jesus said you HAVE to be born again, a lot of them (and actual Christians) have pictures of the European Jesus (that is incorrect, He was probably brown skin with brown eyes), among other things. It’s unbiblical, denominations don’t matter, just follow the Bible, be born again, get baptized, follow Jesus, repent. That’s it

The Bible clearly states for believers to fellowship with one another. It does not, however say that it has to be in a specific place. We as Christian’s need to get rid of this idea that a church building’ is the only place we can fellowship as if the building itself has a special barrier that keeps Satan at bay or that it somehow makes us more holy because it isn’t since we can fellowship anywhere as long as we’re ministering and Praising God, there should be no issue because at the end, we are the building that the Holy Spirit resides, not a building that going to burn one day.

My church lack of people to serve, so every time when I go to church I was defaulted to be helping out to serve. So I will come earlier than everyone to prepare and go later than everyone when I'm cleaning up. There was simply no time to connect with anyone for the duration of the service. After over the years, I felt even more disconnected from god and people of church. I'm am doing my best to connect with people outside of church and worship god by myself. Currently I'm thinking do I still need to go to church when most of the connection and worship is done outside service?

Some days we finish quickly and have time to chat, but other days we don't have that luxury. Connection with our spiritual brethren is something we should be cultivating throughout the week, not just on Sundays. That being said, it's unfortunate to miss worship on Sunday due to setting up.

😂😂😂Stop spreading false information. You can partake in Holy Communion WHEREVER YOU ARE AND WHENEVER YOU WANT TO.

I am 100% Burnt out from Meetings and Committees… for the rest of my life!

[@michellesheppard9253]

I take it that you attend a church with a congregationalist style church government? In Presbyterian, Lutheran, Anglican, and other high-church denominations don't have that. There's usually either a council of elders or a hierarchy of bishops who make decisions for the church.

[@elektromeha]

There is no sin in church. There are no people with burdens. There is no encouragement. Or prayer. Why then to go to church?

[@jakepatterson2798]

What kind of church are you going to?

[@elektromeha]

@@jakepatterson2798 in church where everyone is content with what is preached and where they think that there is nothing to change. Just to wait on the Lord.

[@jakepatterson2798]

@@elektromeha is the Gospel preached? Is there conviction of sin? Have you brought your concerns to your pastor? There are times to leave a church, but it is a serious decision to make. Sometimes it takes someone to speak up for things to change for the better.

[@elektromeha]

@@jakepatterson2798 Gospel is not preached. They have teachings that have no practical side in life. It was brought to their attention. They are all satisfied and they say it is the Word of God. If your are not 'satisfied' something is wrong with you. I would like to go to a church where there is Holy Spirit present, but I do not see it anywhere in my town :/

[@shugadaddy4841]

I need the encouragement of hypocrites? I don like most people and as an introvert (how I assume God made me) I don't see a point of hanging around people that are going to judge me

[@Tendedsheeep]

We all Sinned and Fallen Short of the Glory of God, The sick go to a hospital, we are all sinners, or people fighting for holiness that need to be healed and restored by God and each other, Pray to Jesus to help you find a good Church and Good friends that will encourage you and be respectful to you! God bless you Brother Love you!

[@jakepatterson2798]

Brother, you are judging others in this very statement and are therefore practicing hypocrisy. God made you with a particular set of talents and personality that He knows will be beneficial for a church somewhere. We need others for correction and teaching, God bless you in your search.

[@SecretPersonComment]

Not everyone is a hypocrite. I am an introvert as well, but I still force myself to be with people because I know it is for the good. Judgement isn't always a bad thing, sometimes we need to accept it and do better, God is the ultimate judge after all.

[@Cathtradman]

Whoa whoa whoa now the Building is still important let’s not get ahead of ourselves, yes we are the church the people but the building is still a very important aspect of that

[@jakepatterson2798]

The building is important as far as convenience for gathering together and the removal of distractions from our worship of God. I love beautiful buildings and all, but we don't worship buildings.

[@stevegiuffrida5775]

I was wondering if you were supporting keeping the Saturday Sabbath when going to church as God commands ?

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

Every day is the Lords' day in the New Testament. Why have reverence for God for one day out of the week? How do you know God rested on Sunday or Saturday? Why would it matter anyway? God knows His children work all days of the week. I think He would've known that prior to the Creation of the observable universe.

[@gregatkinson7276]

Because He clearly stated in Genesis that he rested on the 7th day. Ever read a Bible? lol!?@@A-A-RonDavis2470

[@-SonOfGod-]

@@A-A-RonDavis2470why are you leaning on your own understanding..?

[@SabbatarianSundayer.]

What would you think; if I asked about the possibility, of genuine vrs. "counterfeit" bibles?

[@miakel126]

Hi there! I just wanted for you to know that You are AMAZING and are loved by Jesus, religious or not. Have a GREAT DAY! 😎🙂 “ Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.””

[@TheElizabethashby]

GOING TO CHURCH THESE DAYS IS LIKE GOING TO A COFFE SHOP CHURCH BUILDINGS ARE DEAD WITH VERY LITTLE OF GOD JESUS' WORD IN THEM WE WHO DONT HAVE A BUILDING HAVE CHRISTIAN FRIENDS AROUND US BUT MOST OF ALL WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS WORD THE BIBLE I NEVER GOT ANYTHING GOOD FROM FROM A CHURCH BUILDING AND I HAD BEEN TO A FEW OF BUILDINGS YOU CAN KEEP THEM

[@Whispers_of_God-67]

In these terrible times where goodness is superficial it’s better to stay away. I know we’re all sinners. But because we are, getting together can only strengthen sin in us. Think about a band of gangsters.they’re better off away from each other, right?

[@jakepatterson2798]

Jesus describes us as sheep, not gangsters. What happens when a sheep is separated from the fold?

[@akankshaekka5378]

Amen🙏🙏Let us all be together in body of christ my fellow brethren🤗🤗✝️✝️⛪⛪⛪🙌🙌Lets us unite and worship and glorify him and give thanks and put our prayers and petition in feet of the lord our God..in name of jesus.. Amen!!!

[@LeonaPayton-u9l]

Most fellowship is to be in your business and act like they are without sin ~ I believe in a higher power but all the bible is questionable But no answers

[@DamirVidovic-pf2pk]

NO. Don't go to a church building.

[@alastairhopkins245]

The perfect church on Earth does not exist and you cannot make the perfect church. If you can prove me wrong and find this church DO NOT JOIN IT!!! If you do you will spoil it.
