Importance of Church Attendance

Wow in these days too many folks miss out on a lot by not being active as such in their communities! This is a great article I thought I'd share on the subject. As long as you can find a church that teaches God's word and Jesus as Saviour and Lord, you have a good place to go worship and obey the command to assemble every seventh day.

What About Church Buildings? Gathering Is Still Biblical!

(From The Christ's Assembly Newsletter)

In these latter day end times many believers are able to come up with a long list of excuses not to assemble for public worship but be assured it is still biblical and an urgent need for the survival of not only any community, but any family. (Many verses say God roots out the wicked & only the righteous remain. Don't miss out on the benefits of the righteous!)

One of the greatest expressions of loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself is achieved in a congregational & corporate worship setting for in depth Christian prayer, Bible study, Praise in song, Fellowship and volunteering:

Psalms 22:22 "I will declare Thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the CONGREGATION will I praise Thee." Psalms 116:14 "I will pay my vows unto THE LORD now in the presence of all His people."
Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

While not to forget an all important aspect of the church being all believers worldwide; (called the body & bride of Christ) we're going to discuss some biblical aspects of making a place of Assembly & worship a priority in our outward evidence of Christian love.

Our Christian culture has been the light & preserving salt of good in the earth. Everywhere our people have gone and thrived is where we put a church as the center of our towns. In the perilous days of the 1500 & 1600's church worship was held in higher importance than how today's homes have a family television set. It was so important to the people that countless legislations were put in place to protect the free exercise of the only imaginable American & European religion of the time. The resulting regional & national prosperity & blessings from on high have have naturally had cataclysmic effects on the kingdoms of evil & darkness. Corruption could not exist in these certain areas of high Christian cultural society (at the local level) where the Bible and integrity was the constitution of the land, and the law the local judges followed and enforced it, even opened up their bibles in open court to find the right sentences for crimes, reading it out of the word of God. (The reason our courts to this day still say "all rise" when a Judge enters a room was originally because the judge would walk in carrying a BIBLE, the word of GOD. Bibles were also very expensive in those days.)

These blessings go back to our ancestral Father Abraham, as we find wherever he went he found it of high importance to setup an altar for worship & sacrificing to His God. (Genesis 12:6-7, Genesis 21:33)Which he and everyone else excepted was a different God than the Canaanites' god, (notice he never tried to convert them, but called them "not of his lineage" and ordered His sons to not intermarry with them, as God had told Him previously. Christians too today should marry those of their own ethnic culture. Christianity is the religion of the West, and has not been the religion of the other races for thousands of years. CHRISTENDOM is the name of European Ethnic Cultural Society, the rest are all foreigners as Abram said "not of our kindred"). All the way through the pages of the bible we see a great importance placed on a place FOR PUBLIC WORSHIP, just as our people have always sought to consecrate a special place for their God. No one can debate the fact our ancestral lands are still dotted with many Christian Churches STILL STANDING IN GOOD CONDITION which are over 1,500 years old or older, unlike all the other nations where not even one can be found more than 30 years old. Yes, these places of Christianity the whole world acknowledges is "the richest peoples" but we get our surrounding blessings only by the good graces of accepting Jesus Christ as savior and LORD. What most don't realize is it is not physical riches we have but richness in spirit, as the early settlers & martyrs gave up everything risking their lives under the most perilous circumstances. Even to migrating with nothing, giving up everything to go to an untamed American land; all for freedom to practice this faith fo Christianity according to their conviction whether it be Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist, Calvinist, Catholic, Lutheran, Sabbatarian, Presbyterian, or any other practice of the ONE founder's FAITH in JESUS CHRIST, the ONLY way to God. "...no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) This only makes sense as every good thing comes from God, with Jesus the only way to God, our people put up the great church altars throughout the lands in dedication to our King Jesus.

Drastic results are evident when this religion is undermined or replaced with the floods of aliens who since 1965 under the immigration act and the 14th Amendment seek to have man-made "rights" to the BLESSINGS, yet seek to only keep their own ethnic & spiritual nonChristian cultures. Foreigners now come to our lands, not to risk everything for their faith, but for selfish reasons to gain conveniences and for the love of money. Now very few corners of our lands are even safe places to raise children due to the tearing down of our cultural & historic faith. One example is how Black Islam rooted out all the original inhabitants of Los Angeles, Detriot, and Washington DC (Which they themselves proudly proclaim they did WITH VIOLENCE AND GUNS). Now 30 million illegal aliens have come to these cities to take the scraps left. Even American suburbs have become these deathtraps, totally against the biblical model and has been common sense for the rest of the world.

The promise of our seed remaining & being established in the earth while the wicked are rooted out is all held together by small town church communities. God's word and the test of time have proven such. Many Kingdoms, Empires, Governments have come and gone. The pagans have died off from diseases & problems from their over indulgent living. Most atheists don't have any children to multiply & reproduce their own lives and have always just ceased to exist, while Christians remain and multiply in the land. Yet going to divergent pagan cultures outside of the traditional Christian culture will cause you not to see, know or experience this. The biblical ways of marrying and having children as most of the new testament was written to FAMILIES, not single folks will see that more of God's kingdom and will is being done in the earth. If we're not "being fruitful and multiplying" we're violating one of God's first commandments. Violating this biblical law effects not only your own local family but can impact the entire world overall, taking away the blessings you were granted with growing up by there being many Christian people to bless one another in this world. Yet multiplying not only counts in physical reproduction, but also in psychological love toward other Christians & helping each other to be good & great Christians in your local communities. Multiplying the love & good graces around you, as well as multiplying and 'filling the earth" with offspring as Adam, Abraham, Jeremiah, all the apostles, all the church, and all the descendants of Adam to this day are also instructed for good "build a hedge and survive" in a corrupt world.
