Why Go To Church?

"The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord" LSB #644

I just got through listening to Dr. Norman Nagel on Issues Etc.  You can find this in the archives of the Issues Etc. website. http://issuesetc.org/   It is entitled, "Why Go To Church?" 

It got me to thinking about all of the reasons people give for why they do or do not go to church.  So this particular blog posting is going to be a more interactive one.  I would invite all of you to give your reasons for why you go to church, or why you do not.  I expect that I will probably get many of the responses I often hear as a pastor, but I think pastors are much better served when they understand what they are dealing with.  And they understand better what they are dealing with when people are open and honest about things like this issue.

You do not have to respond to this post, it is entirely up to you if you do.  At the very least, I would invite you once again to consider listening to Dr. Nagel's spot on Issues Etc. about this important topic.  I feel there is a whole lot of misunderstanding about this particular aspect of faith in Christ, and it deserves some time spent taking a real hard look at what people are thinking in terms of worshiping God.
Thank you for reading and may the Lord of the Church bring His grace to you in those ways He has chosen to feed you.
