Here is a current quote that is going around. Not sure who wrote this – some say Michael Card, others a bishop from somewhere, others give not attribution. One of our local pastors posted this – rather relevant:
As church attendance numbers fade across the nation and online services become very convenient, it’s important to remember why church attendance for you and your family matters so much.
You can’t serve from your sofa. You can’t have community of faith on your sofa. You can’t experience the power of a room full of believers worshipping together on your sofa.
Christians aren’t consumers. We are contributors. We don’t watch. We engage. We give. We sacrifice. We encourage. We pray by laying hands on the hurting. We do life together.
The church needs you and you need the church.
