A statement which made me think more!

One of my friend said, It's not a must to go to church's activity such as youth.
She said depends on one person's heart, if you have trust in God, He definitely will listen to your prayer.
It's not really saying that doing prayer in church is more powerful.

Hmm. After few minutes, I think again. I am not agree with that statement.
If everyone thinks the same thing, I think we do not need church anymore.
Why should a church has prayer meeting, fellowship, cell group, Sunday school and church service every week?
Activities in church have been held all this time is to help us, as a christian to listen to God's words, make our spiritual stronger, interact with more people and share what God has done in each of everyone of us, pray for each other, do more caring work on the people who need us, bringing more lost sheep to the church and know Jesus and many many more.

You may not be strong every time. One day you will corrupt. Not necessary physically, but spiritually. 
You can stay in your house, read Bible and pray everyday.
If you have no strong will, you may not continue until the end of the day.
You can say you are strong and have faith in God. 
But when Satan is attacking you and make you fall into temptation, what will you do.
Are you fighting alone with God?
You can win. But you may feel afraid and lost.
You need support from brothers and sisters. As what has written in Bible, "we are one family."
You can share everything and tell your needs, people can pray for you.
There is one quote, who said that, "有祷告, 有力量; 没祷告, 没力量; 多祷告, 多力量."

Bible defines church as a person. we are the church because our body is the holy temple for Holy Spirit. So, it can be said, we are the church. Which mean wherever we go we can pray powerfully.
Not definitely praying in church is more powerful. But in this case, we cannot ignore the church!

Church is our second home.
Remember how you know our Father.
There was someone who brought us to the church.
From there, we read Bible together, we pray together and we have love towards each other.

  1. I agree with ur statement.Activities in church(sunday service,cell group, prayer meeting & etc) must be held every week & we as a Christian must attend at least one event in a week to come to the presences of the Lord.
    "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in habit of doing, but let us encourage one another- and all more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrew 10:25)
