Why Do You Go To Church

Why don’t members return Sunday night ? This is the wrong question… the real question is — why did they

come Sunday morning? Those who come for the right reasons Sunday morning will return Sunday night! So we keep treating symptoms and not the heart.

Do you come out of duty (fear)? Do you come to get

“credit”? How many thousand times must one come? Do “brownie points” accrue in heaven? Silly — isn’t it!

WHY: Because these reasons are wrong reasons. We have promoted wrong things. We attend to encourage,

uplift, strengthen, edify others. Until we know this we will have attendance problems. What is the church? It is MUTUAL edification not SELF edification! We go to

serve, to help, to bolster, to praise. If you go to worship like going to a store you will never have great interest nor loyalty. This is the glory of Barnabas. Barnabas was not even

his real name. His real name was Joseph. He was nick-named Barnabas, the son of encouragement. I need

you …. You need me. We assemble to share, aid, help one another. I am my brother’s keeper. Why do you go to church? Charles Hodge
