Could it be that if there were no churches, people would find a place to pray. Those who thought they HAD to have a church simply would just say, "We have no church in which to pray". If we don't feel the need or desire to pray, there is something seriously wrong.
If the only time we pray or read/listen, to GOD's WORD is when we go to church, we are in trouble. If we pray daily in our homes, it won't be hard to pray when we go to church. We're not there that long anyway. We need to take time to pray and read God's Word daily, IF we want to grow spiritually strong and healthy.

Yes, we need to go to church. The pastor where we attend calls it an emergency room. ER's need experienced staff to help with those who come in with desperate needs.
If we have to go to church just to repent and pray through so we can make it one more week, etc./or if we are on staff at the ER, if we have to get ready before we can assist with those who come in with an emergency, we don't need to be serving in an ER/church.

Some thoughts!
