Back to Church at Rockford



Christian Without Church

Nowhere in the Bible does it say we must have our names on a church membership roll to be saved. That doesn't mean, however, that joining with other believers in a local church is not vital to our spiritual growth. Gathering regularly for worship and instruction encourages love for others, good works, and mutual accountability (Hebrews 10:24,25).

I read an article some time ago that likened the Christian without a church to:

  * A student who won't go to school 
  * A soldier without an army 
  * A citizen who won't vote 
  * A seaman without a ship 
  * A child without a family 
  * A drummer without a band 
  * A ballplayer without a team 
  * A honeybee without a hive 
  * A scientist who does not share his finding with his colleagues
