Amen. God has much to say to the saints that they might become grounded and settled. Paul laboured to that end forever. Ther eis more than knowing how to get saved. MUCH MORE! 95% of the bible is beyond what saves us.

I went three times a week.

Three times a week is alright. I would say that is Max, though. We have services here twice on Sunday and once on Wed night.

Fact is, we need more than once a week for sure due to the necessity of coming into maturity through teaching, and the fact that we are bombarded with the world in all it's barefacedness every single day of our lives. Three times a week is not too much in that light. But some folks see work pressing in too hard for them, though.

In circles where there is no in-depth teaching beyond Acts 2:38, three services are too much.

As newborn babes, we are to desire the sincere milk of the Word.

We read the Scriptures for ourselves, but the Scripture makes it clear that we require the preaching and teaching of the five fold ministry to be perfected and edified.

There is something wrong with a baby that won't eat, and has no appetite. They can't survive without noursihment.

Similarly, there is something wrong with a born again believer who has little or no appetite for hearing teaching and preaching.

They will not thrive or even survive if that isn't corrected.

if you're alive, you're going to get hungry.

Amen and amen. But there is very little, if any, teaching in too many places. One is "too many", by the way, as well. Preachers who never teach are a detriment to the cause of God.

Enough for what? Why would someone that loves God and is truely of the body of Christ want to be in a church service only twice a month? That's insane.
