We need to be spurred on. We need the spurs. THAT is worship. Regardless of what some might claim, worship does not happen in a fishing boat or on a golf course. To say that any real worship goes on out there is just not true.
Life can be tough.
There are times when we feel like giving up. We NEED the fellowship of caring people to get us through difficult moments. In years past, people turned to the church for that fellowship, but today, less and less are doing so. Folks still need help, but they are not looking for it in the church. This is no trivial matter.
