Should I Stop Going To Church?

"I had about a two year period in my life for whatever the reason I decided to stop attending church faithfully. It wasn't until the end of the second year a friend invited me to her church in San Francisco. Out of all the things you'd think I would have missed, just the mere sound and joy of those worshiping as we entered the edifice sorrowed my heart as I realized I'd missed out on praising my creator in song for almost twenty four months. Then as I lifted my hands and shed a tear, I began to sing to Him and my sorrows lifted but I'll never forget how important it is to praise, dance, sing, and lift Him up every Sunday. Like many of us, sometimes it's easy to slip into what I'm about to 'get' at church, when is essence one of the truest reasons to attend every week is to 'give' him praise as it says in Psalm 71:8: "Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory all the day." I'm certain it pleased Him to have me back, especially since He's gifted me to sing! Finally, if you're thinking about not going to church, remember, He will really miss your special praises more than you can ever imagine."
