People stay away from church for many reasons: Sometimes they feel bad because their faith is not working as well as they think it should. Or they're depressed because it looks like everyone else is doing well except them.
Don't let discouragement keep you away from your spiritual family. You need their love and support. Their testimony should motivate your faith. The Bible says, 'Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is'( Hebrews 10:25 KJV).
The word 'forsaking' is taken from three Greek words which could be translated 'out', 'down', and 'behind'. It pretty much describes someone who feels left out, spiritually and emotionally down, and far behind everyone else.
The moment you feel that way Satan whispers, 'just stay home from church today; you don't need to go there with all those good people.' Get this:
If Satan can separate you from other believers at the very time you need them most, he can rob you of what God has in store for you. Sure, you can stay home, read your Bible, and turn on Christian radio and television.
But surrounded by your spiritual family you'll get great joy and receive encouragement you can't find anywhere else.
Church is the last place the devil wants you to go when you're feeling low. He knows if you go, you'll be touched or revived by the presence of the Lord and be able to crawl out of the the hole you're in. So, always go to church!
