:arrow:Below are 13 reasons why we should attend church services on a regular basis.
1. Because it is an [b]act of obedience to God[/b] and it [b]honors the Lord's Day[/b]. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy (Ex. 20:8).
2. Because [i]we[/i] need to belong to a community of faith that includes our brothers and sisters in Christ who are trying to live out the gospel just like we are.
3. Because [b]we will benefit[/b] from being taught and led in worship by others, rather than always [i]depending on ourselves to read and study the bible.[/i]
4. Because we need [b]regular reminders [/b] of our standing in Christ, help in acknowledging and confessing our [i]sins[/i], and teaching about God's truth.
5. Because we need help in [b]praying, tithing and fasting.[/b]
6. Because we need help to face the [b]issues of life and faith[/b] as presented through the teachings of the Bible.
7. Because we need to [i]hear [/i]how believers in the past struggled, grew and lived out their faith from different perspectives.
8. Because we need to hear about the experiences of other contemporary believers.
9. Because we need to hear reminders of [b]God's love.[/b]
10. Because we need an alternative to the constant messages of a culture that ignores God.
11. Because we need to experience artistic and creative expressions of the faith, such as [b]music, praying, fasting and tithing.[/b]
12. Because believers need [i]help to reflect [/i]on the past week and see it as a small part of the journey of life.
13. Because we need a conscious [i]break from work, family problems, and self interests [/i]in order to [b]concentrate on the Lord.[/b]
In brief summary, the strategies and schemes of the devil are well thought out and proven to work better than the marketing strategies of rich corporations like microsoft.
:arrow:Therefore, we need other people we can count on to help us make it threw tough times when they arise.
Our chances of finding people we can count on in church are far better than finding someone we can count on anywhere else in the world.
Plus, going up against these strategies with out proper guidance will lead to unnecessary mistakes being made on our part.
In conclusion, going to church while also doing our own personal bible study at home on a regular basis helps us to get confirmation of God's message and what He wants us to do with our lives.

[quote=lalalalalalala]Nature na ng tao ang maging curious sa lahat ng bagay. Nagmukhang ganun talaga ang sinasabi nila dahil ang totoo marami pang mga bagay noong mga panahon nila ay hindi pa nabibigyan ng tamang explanation kung kaya iniisip nila na may isang mahalagang bagay na nagbibigay talaga sakanila ng dahilan para sa lahat ng ito. Naging nature na din ng mga tao sa Middle East ang maniwala sa iisang tao o monotheism at kumalat lang ito dahil naimpluwensyahan pati ang mga karatig pulo nito.
Lahat ng "matatalinong tao" ay aware na higit pa sa kanilang mga nalalaman ang kailangan pa nila malaman pero may limitasyon ang tao.
Tanong ko sayo, bakit ba kailangan paniwalaan ang Diyos?[/quote]
agree with this, kci nman wla cla [b]explainable[/b] reason nun noh.. ba't kailangan maniwala sa diyos? ahha, I think sumtimes i believe in God, kpag nag kakaruon aq ng mabigat ng problema, I just lweiz lean on in God, even though na alam ko nah.. it's just help my confidence to never give up.

@to everyone hindi po tayo maliligtas ng dahil lang sa church...e2 ay nagpapakita ng pakikiisa mo sa other believers at bunga ng Salvation..and ung Church na tinutukoy sa Bible ay mismong TAYO...ung pagtanggap pa lang at paniniwala natin na namatay para sa atin si Jesus dahil sa kasalanan natin ay sapat na para maligtas tayo.

I still get the same answer among all the people I asked but I still don't get the answer I want to hear. But thanks for the answer anyway.
[quote=Jabberwock]niloloko mo ba sarili mo, nagbibible study ka tapos di ka naniniwala kay god.[/quote]
That's another hypocrisy of man. We have nothing to do without it. But one thing I tell you, there is always a tendency why people still do this. [b]Because they want a solid reason for themselves why they still have to praise a "person" they don't know if it existed.[/b] Does that mean I'm an anti-christ after all? I don't think a label of anti-christ would be the correct term for these people like me.
I understand that it's also written in the Bible not to question God's existence but why can't we? I admit I am confused with the "God" topic and I hate it when people tell me that it's [b]wrong[/b]. You can't justify that without an exact answer. [b]Kung alam nyo lang na kahit mga magulang ko nabubuwisit sakin dahil sa tanong ko kung bakit kailangan maniwala sa Diyos.[/b] People can't leave their curiosity empty. Kahit sino naman gusto rin maliwanagan kaya ginagawa nila ang mga bagay na katulad nito pero sa mga ginagawa nyo parang nakakainsulto at ginagawa nyong taboo ang topic na to. Are you guys really serious about this? The tag of "God" is just for a matter of guidance to rely on, correct me if I'm wrong. And frankly, I'm telling this because this what people concludes on their posts. Because WE NEED GOD.
Just think of this way, what if praising God is not right and believing in everything that surrounds you is what you really should do. We're not talking about Satan here but believe me, you should ask yourself sometimes too.
I don't think the topic is getting off-handed here. And since, wala naman nakakaget sa mga sinabi ko at feeling ko tinatabunan na ng lahat ng mga "unaware" na mga tao na akala ay makakatulong, what's the use of the topic? I think the discussion is almost there to the point na lumitaw ang exact na dahilan kelangan ba talaga pumunta sa church. Siyempre kung ikaw naman magtataka ka rin naman kung bakit hindi ba? Hindi ka ba natutuwa dahil hindi lang puro "oo" kasi kailangan talaga o kaya "hindi" kasi may kanya-kanya tayong buhay.
Geez.
@zzamae
Maraming salamat sa pagbibigay mo ng time sa pagreply sa mga tanong ko. Nadagdagan ako ng kaalaman na may mga taong katulad mo dito.
@tap13
Maraming salamat din sa pagsasang-ayon mo sa mga sinabi ko at naiintindihan mo ako.
