A woman, who was capable of attending the church assemblies, asked the preacher, “Do you think I will go to hell for consistently missing the public worship assembly on Sunday?” He answered “No, but you might go to hell for not loving the Lord and His people enough to attend.” Imagine a school in which students could come and go as often as they wanted to or not at all. Could that school be the educational blessing it was designed to be for those who do not attend? Imagine an army in which half of the soldiers were AWOL most of the time? Could that army function properly? God wants us to meet together not to place a burden upon us, but to benefit us.
