As the title says who faithfully goes to church every sunday?

People. Mostly Christians.

If a person feels they 'have' to go to church every Sunday, this would concern me. Spirit filled Christians are the Temple of God and are the church. Everywhere you go is church.

To feel you 'had' to go to a building where other people are to please God, is a sign of brainwashing. Anyone who feels that way needs to do a double check on their heart and soul.

Ones' aim as a child of God should always be to be led by the Spirit of God....not the desires of people.....

I do go to church every Sunday, but it isn't a fair answer as I am the pastor....

Blessings,

Angel of Fire

Dear janejenkins1. I go to church every Sunday, if i am lucky. There are days when my health won`t let me, or perhaps something important comes up, and I am prevented. Going to church is a pleasure, jane, it ends one week nicely and starts another one promising. God loves us, jane, and to thank Him for Blessings and ask for His presence, is not only a right thing to do, it also gives strenght for another week. I say this humbly and thankfully. Greetings from Emmy, sister in Christ.

When I am well I attend mass three times a week; Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday.

At present I am not well, and it is about a month since I attended mass. I am not sure when I will be well enough to go again.

You're a pastor

In the Bible, the church is a gathering of believers for corporate worship, the corporate preaching and teaching of the word of God, the edification of the body, accountability, exhortation, and fellowship.

The Bible is very clear that one of the signs of somebody who is saved will have a desire for fellowship with the church.

"7 days without Christian fellowship makes one weak"

I remember an interview with the late, great, jazz guitarist, Wes Montgomery.

He said, "I practice everyday. If I skip a day of practice, I notice. If I skip two days, my friends notice. If I skip three days, everybody notices."

Same with church. A "Christian" who doesn't go to church is going to exhibit that. It's going to show itself in other areas in your life.

Think of it this way:

On our farm, we have a large fire pit. If you ever watch the way a fire burns, you put on three or four logs until all of the logs are burning together as one unit. This causes the fire to grow.

When that happens, it's beautiful. It's also useful. You can cook with it, you can warm yourself with it, etc.

But take one of those logs out and look what happens. It immediately goes out and in just seconds, it's cool enough to touch and is nothing but a smoking hunk of ashes.

It's the same with people who take themselves out of the church.

I've never met a Christian yet who doesn't go to church who is not stunted in their growth in Christ or involved in some sort of ongoing sin.

I attend church every Sunday. Thursdays too. I also meet with a group of Christian friends for Bible study twice a week, and I meet a couple of believers at the bar to casually talk doctrine once a week. "Going to church" doesn't save anyone, and if the whole of your spiritual experience is sitting in a pew for 1.5 hours a week, then you won't grow spiritually (I know, because this was me for awhile), and you may even backslide into unbelief. And woe to the non-Christian who thinks that going to church will save his soul!

The Bible teaches that we should not neglect to meet regularly to encourage and exhort one another. While attending Sunday church services for corporate worship and hearing the word preached is important, it's more important to live in community with believers. The people I study the Bible with are much like a family to me, and we are very involved in each others' lives. This is how the Bible teaches that Christians ought to live. Mind you, I am not saying that we ought not to attend Sunday church services. What I am saying is that one cannot neglect the weightier matter of fellowship with other believers. This is something that one can't get from a Sunday service.

Well, now you have.

Sometimes I am well enough to go to church, and that is a great blessing. Sometimes I am not well enough and I remain at home, and my church is rather challenged pastorally, and does not do home communion (although it ought to). Nonetheless, God remains with me; his faithfulness never changes, and his presence comforts me every moment, but especially on a Sunday, when I think of my friends at church, and sometimes cry because of what I am missing, and cannot reach.

As for the ongoing sin, well, chance would be a fine thing. I live the life of an anchorite.
