We must base our Beliefs on something. In fact, the Bible is a miracle… it is greater than any individual who wrote a part of it. We believe that it is the Word of God, and that it is a love letter from God to his creation so that we may know Him, and understand how to please Him, and come close to Him.
So, does God want us to go to church? Hear what the Word of God in the Bible has to say… and ask yourself: “Can I do the following if I stay home?”
This is written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Corinth:
I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. (1 Corinthians 1:10)
Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)
A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. (1 Corinthians 12:7)
All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. (1 Corinthians 12:27)
Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you. (1 Corinthians 14:26)
God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you. (2 Corinthians 13:11)
