Top Ten Reasons to Go to Church Funny
"… not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. " Hebrews 10:25
Many of us have numerous reasons why we don't go to church or don't go weekly. A few times I have slept in and had my coffee in front of my laptop watching online church. But for me, online church lacks many of the reasons listed below. It leaves me feeling a bit wanting when I close my laptop at the end of service. But, I would be the first to say that online church has its place for some.
Have you ever considered the benefits of going to church regularly outweighing the benefits of not going? Studies have been done that found only 20 percent of Christians in America go to church weekly… so if you don't go often or only attend once a month, you're not alone.
