It assumes that everyone encourages and everyone gets encouraged. It may be 4 men getting together for breakfast on Thursday morning. That too is an expression of the church. If you uncover any really good ideas here, be sure and let me know. It is certainly possible to go too often or not often enough.
Some people feel an obligation to attend every meeting the church has.
I doubt this is congruent with the goal of having meetings that motivate us to live the life. Take note that it is true that we should get with Christian friends regularly. The question is intentionally twisted. And like your pastor, I need to feed my kids. I dream of providing an ever growing library of resources aimed at helping groups double every two years or less.
