Why Do You Go to Church?

by Ben Holden on July 20, 2021

I have written before about how the importance of being at church was ingrained in me as a child. The example my parents set for me stayed with me into adulthood and influence how I lead my family.

Have your kids ever asked you why you go to church on Sundays as a family? Have you ever thought about how you would answer that question?

Kyle Bjerga gives some great thoughts and points to use when talking to our kids as to the importance of being at church regularly.

Bjerga writes:

"Will there be late nights that make it easier to skip church and sleep in on Sunday? Yes. Will there be life situations that come up that will tempt you to want to avoid the church community—tempting you to want to avoid everyone’s intrusive questions about how you are doing? Of course. Are there going to be days when you just “aren't feeling it”? Absolutely. So, what will keep us going back in those times? What will make gathering with the church community a priority for your family? It must be remembering that we are loved by Christ and then loving him with our heart, soul, mind, and strength. It must be that we’re gathering with Christ’s people to praise him for who he is and what he has done for us. It must be that we’re seeking Christ’s glory with whole-hearted love, because we’re compelled by his love for us."
