Day 2...snooze and lose

Today's devotion brings up a great question to think about - why is church important? There are a lot of times that I would love to sleep in on Sunday mornings and have a relaxing day. So, why should I pull myself out of bed and go to church? Don't get me wrong, there are some really good reasons to be at church, so don't expect me to say you should stay home.

The bottom line for answering this question is your relationship with Jesus. If you know Him or are checking things out, you will find a lot more satisfaction and reason to be at church. But if you have decided that a relationship with Jesus is not important or you're just going through the motions of acting like a Christ follower, then you'll find better ways to spend your time.

What do you think - Why is church important or not important?

I think that church is important just because of the fellowship part of it. It says in Hebrews 10:24-25 that we need to keep going to church for our good and growth of faith. I don't think you have to go to church to be a follower of God, but God wants us to be with other people who help us grow in our faith.
