I go to church to hear what God is saying to me and to renew my faith.

Pennywise:
1.It makes sense in this environment to go to church rather than mosque or synagogue.
2.Your presence in church is a valued contribution to an important social support system we have. You never know when you are going to die or lose a loved one.
3.If you are lucky to have a good pastor, you may find his preaching helpful in trying situations whether in business or family.
4.Good and lasting friendships and business contacts have been known to originate in the church.
5.Some people are never comfortable until they voice their problems to a listening ear. In a world where you are never really sure who your true friends are, it makes sense to trust the clergy.

but come to tthink of it, is dere any place in any books of d bible wher is written for d xtians to go to church on sundays. Av bin asking mysf ds for long yet no ans to it. Secondly wat apen if on sunday u ar goin to d church and paraventually u get delay along d way, on getting to d church d congregations av bin dismise, so dos it mean u can stay to perform ur service alone or u will return home witout perfoming d service.

Too many hypocrites developing daily. Most of the people who gather in these new genaration churches, go there to belong. To show off new cars, new clothes, to be associated with a certain trend. In fact these days, church is trendy. You all going on about not forgetting God, do you practice what God says you should, how many of you walk according to his ten commandments and do exactly what he says? You go to church only as a religion, and then back to square one on Monday disregarding every other thing the bible tells you to do. Thos of you who go to church for the sake of it know yourselves. God is everwhere, and I do not think I will be turned back from the gates of heaven for not attending church on sunday.

ifeness: Sometimes i wonder how long most Nigerians will remain brainwashed ......

where are you seeing brainwashed?

most nigerians combine church going with some other ungodly stuff, so I'd say the brainwashing is from the alternate lifestyle.

1.“Church” is not a physical building. Your body is the church of God.

2. We go to the physical building not because we have to but because we are encouraged not to forsake the gathering of “Christians.” So we chose to honor that gathering mostly on Sundays. There’s a level of assurance and validity that comes from worshiping with others who share your beliefs and feeding off their testimonies.

Re: Why Do You Go To Church? by tpia5: 1:08am On Jun 10, 2013
many christians are abusing this phrase "meeting with God".

what use is your so-called meeting with God if you are only giving opportunity to unbelievers to blaspheme because of what you do after church?

there are far too many unbeleiving "believers" in churches these days, they are far worse than outright non-christians yet they mark attendance every sunday.

yes, God said the wheat will grow with the tares but that's no reason to make yourself a tare?

romans 2

23 You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?

24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.

4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

6 who will render to each person according to his deeds

Anytime I fell to attend Sunday service, I'd have setback(s) for that week. It has happened many times. Now I've come to believe that I just have to set my foot in the church and be rest assured that things will go on smoothly that week. I mean any church of my choice. In fact, its like I'm going to recharge myself. So I MUST go.
Re: Why Do You Go To Church? by Nobody: 7:57am On Jun 10, 2013
Sometimes i ask myself this question, because am not that religious, its like some kinda compulsion to stick with routine activities since childhood.

Re: Why Do You Go To Church? by slymm(f): 11:28am On Jun 10, 2013
I go to church when i feel like, and most of the time i do not feel like sef, so it means i hardly go to church. for some people this church going is like an obsessive compulsive disorder, they can not help themselves, they have no relationship with God, but their brain has been hardwired to wake up every Sunday morning and head to church. some people have given reasonable answers as to why they do. it is all good, my philosophy is live and let live..... keep going to church in your Sunday frock, but please quit asking me every Sunday morning the same old question..... did you go to church today?? lipsrsealed

I go to church;
1. Because it's a command 'forsake not the assembly of the brethren'
2. I go to sevice my life & destiny as word connotes 'Sunday Service'.
Just as we take cars to Mechanic workshop for better efficiency, so I takes my life to the One who know how I was formed.
3. To update my life.
4. To constantly scan, quarantine, shield my life and also to delete all forms of Viruse contracted during the week. abbl
