What is the purpose of worship? How you answer that question will determine how highly you value the time you spend with God and your fellow believers. I believe too many Christians fail to understand all that worship provides. The service is not intended to benefit God. When Jesus was questioned about the value of the Sabbath and what He was doing on it, he said, "The Sabbath was made for man." In other words God created this time of worship to benefit us.
Consider a person who has had a heart transplant, or a person with diabetes taking there medicine regularly means the difference between remaining physically healthy and alive or dying. I wonder sometimes if you could "feel" the decay of our spiritual health like we could feel the decay of our physical health, if we would be so quick to relagate worship and Bible Study to such a low priority in our lives.
Consider for a moment the blessings we receive in worship. Just having our sins forgiveness and knowing that we are in the presence of Almighty God and eating at His table should be enough to keeping us regular and faithful.
What do you think?
