Do you think Two Church services a month is enough?

I've visited some churches where 2 in a month would have been 2 too many....

There are a few Amish who have the HG, they didn't understand what it was. There about 12 family we get with 29 in all, we met with, in our home or their's.

Easy to say when you derive your income from the church.

Was he not "in church" though even when he travelled? Everywhere he went the held "revivals" :-) Plus also he was not obviously avoiding going to a church service or even asking questions like "How often do I really need to go" which to me is sort of like asking "Do I really need to be baptized? If I don't have to then I want to avoid it"

Church..we are the church. Our mission is not to sit on pews and get bored with the same message. I go to church meetings to SUPPORT what we are doing, which is trying to reach the lost, staying "fit" so that I can be always ready for God to use me, ministering to someone OTHER than myself...worshipping and or praising God in unity with others...which is exercising what it means to be one body in Christ, the operation of the gifts of the Spirit to the edifying of the body and supporting the preaching of the word.

Very often one does not have to go out side to reach the lost....they are often in our own backyards. I have taught many bible studies to folks that just visit our services.

Coop....when church is all about you I can see how hearing everything that needs to be heard might be a reason to attend less services...

What about your family? Your children?

BTW Church should be every day. I believe families need to have church at home between services with prayer and some bible reading. It does not have to consume an hour or even half an hour, but it should be consistant

So far, this has been the best post in this thread.

Thank you....Coop didn't seem to like it as he misconstrued it as a personal attack
