The church is made up of people from every background bound together by one belief: Believing in Jesus; born to a virgin, being the son of God, dying on the cross and being raised to life again after the 3rd day. Coming out of the tomb, ALIVE.
God's purpose for the church is foremost to function!
By encouraging each other to use their gifts in the Spirit, being the family of God, protecting and encouraging each other and fellowshipping with God.
On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. Acts 14:27

And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues 1Chor. 12:28

The Church is the body of Christ and cannot function properly with parts missing. We don't want the church to wobble and be unleveled. So don't be the missing part.
God has put us together and even placed us in families to receive the blessings and protection thereof.
Not attending church services and not being in fellowship with other believers will cause us to go backwards in our faith, due to a lack of proper spiritual support. Faith grows by hearing of the Word of God and overcoming obstacles. Also grows and overcomes by the blood of Christ, the word of the testimonies of the saints. Not being connected to the body is like cutting off life support.
Father, today my prayer is for all to understand that we are all needed in the body of Christ. I pray You bring understanding and wisdom to all on which part they are in this body. Jesus, we are thankful for Your sacrifice to make this body/church happening. AMEN
So long and good bye, until next time and don't forget to leave your prayer request.
