Obsessed with Church
I noticed a facebook post made yesterday by my first cousin praising the dedication of his wife to attend church even though she was very ill. This post had several likes and a few comments regarding her dedication. Keep in mind this is a pastors wife. My question is where is the line drawn when its ok to miss a church service? One comment stated that there is no better place to be than church when your sick. Where is the common sense? What is the thought process? I'm sick so let me go to church and get everyone else sick. Is it fear of missing a church service? Is it an obsession?

Re: Obsessed with Church
If you have something contagious like a bug or a virus, you need to stay home so you don't get other people sick. However, if you have a chronic disease or illness, getting out to church could be the highlight of their life. So, it would depend on what kind illness or problem they have, I would think.

You don't have to be "in church" to be healed.... 
Use common sense - don't go if you are contagious!!!! KBTW had wisdom in his post!

I wouldn't judge someone's dedication, nor would I mock it.
But this is AFF and it's par for the course here.

Not a judgement nor mocking. Just a question. I don't understand the logic. What is going on in someone's head that they cannot miss a church service because they are sick and risk elderly and children getting sick??

Re: Obsessed with Church
Is any among you sick? Let him stay home, take pills, and avoid the saints, and the prescriptions of the doctors will raise him up...

Wanna be like that? Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church. Not go to the church.
