Yea, not compulsory.

It wouldn't be important, if truly xtians find time to attend xtian gathering, or discuss spiritual matters. For most people sunday is the only time they get involved in spiritual matter.

Going to church is God rendering services to you. He feeds you with informations that will transform your life and with which you can change others...that's why ppl don't take it important.

As far as God is concerned, those who really come to church to honor him are those who come to render services to him... Ppl who come earlier than the normal service time to clean up the church, put all things in order, pray for the ministration to meet lives and not necessarily the pastor's anointing. Those who during the service ensure that while others are just sitting listening to the ministers, all protocols are well organized, those who wait after service has ended to clean up again and render a special thanksgivings prayer session and are ready to do same during the week and not on Sundays alone. Those are the people who come to honor God in church service. Others(most people) are just churchgoers and benchwarmers.

But are people not tire of routines?

I mean, Sunday 8am, Monday 5pm, Wednesday 4pm?

and all they do is:

Opening prayer 5minutes;
Songs and Worship 15 minutes; and so on?

I don't know, if you are getting me?

I get u. The fact is when u love what u r doing u don't get tired of it easily, most xtians are just xtians by mouth, or "inheritance", we don't actually believe in d word.

We don't get tired of our job routine, nor is a student tired of school routine, even if they r tired, they persevere because there is a reward at d end, but most xtians don't see d need, so it is just like they r forcing themselves to attend these services, hence they get tired and bored easily.

It is not a must u attend church gatherings, but it is impotant.

Good day everyone, I don't know if this question has been answered on any trend before.

I have been wondering the for some time now, the importance of going to church as a religious routine.

Of course, I know the scripture says "do not forsake the assembly of others." but couldn't this assembly just be a mere visitation and meeting with other Christians at different places aside the church?

I need sincere thoughts on this, don't be bias or religious.
