You always hear that "Yeah, I go to church". But why do you go to church? Do you go because it's the right thing to do or because you grew up in the church or do you go because you fellowship with other believers? I tend to go because it's the right thing to do (after all I grew up in a Christian home), but recently I have begun to know why it is important for Christians to attend church. Fellowshipping is one of the best ways to be accountable to yourself and to others. You learn so much from other people and if you don't interact with anyone, then you're missing out on one of God's best gifts to us.
Lately, I have had deep discussions with my friends that I attend college with. First, it's been enlightening and second, sometimes they have a different viewpoint then you do and it's nice to hear what others think. Now, I do still stand firm for what I believe in but it's nice to get a feel for what those around you think as well. Sometimes it's disheartening what comes out of their mouths but other times you learn so much. How else could you learn that way when you never talk to ANYONE about your beliefs or theirs? How would you be able to challenge yourself spiritually? God calls those in our lives for a time and a purpose and if we choose not to learn what God is teaching us during that time, then we are sorely missing out. Keep yourself in line with God by attending and consistently fellowshipping with those Christians around you.
