It's not about going to church, it is about being the Church!
1Co 12:12-13
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. (13) For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
It is easy to be a Christian who is just like everyone else. It is easy to coast through life doing the things we have always done. Habits formed form religious acts may bring us to a certain consistency in our lives were we attend church, give to the poor, and such. But in this world there are many moral people, many compassionate and caring people who deny the power of the cross and deny the need for a personal savior in Jesus Christ. And, if you have been in a church for any time, you many have found that other Christians may be some of the hardest and most difficult people to get along with, but to love others the way Jesus loves us, to love those who are “unlovable” as God loves, we need something supernatural. We can not love as Jesus loves in and through our own power as natural men. We must be filled with the Spirit of God.
