The reasons you list here are the reasons why I no longer attend church. I can’t find one that is actually practicing true Christianity.
If you are ever near Memphis on the weekend, give me a ping. I’ll meet you at the church we attend. You will be pleased.
Point one: Hebrews 10:25 — I am guilty of this one, too.
Point two: such gatherings need not be in a particular place, but must be for the particular purpose of prayer, study, teaching, worship, and service, any one or all of these... so a foursome of de-churched Christian golfers doesn’t qualify :)
come on man. Man up :-) I miss church too and it is a sin and a bad one. Don’t tell me there is no church anywhere near you that would fit “good enough” for you.
That excuse is up there with “it’s raining outside” :-)
I need to try much harder to make massnevery week.
Or I will be in a lot of trouble
I know some here in Indiana that do, if you are interested.
