I said if they don't, even going to church every day won't save them.

Make sense?

Perfect sense.

What I was eventually getting at is partially what Prax said.

We should want more church.

Assuming the church you go to is edifying.

But my other point is this, and no I don't have statistics.

But in today's society, its really hard to spend quality time with God at home.

Now I know everyone is going to hoop and hollar about thier prayer closet.

I don't care.

You can't tell me that there are not distractions.

I love going to church because it actually is REST for me.

It is rest in the Spirit. I don't feel burdened or tired from going to church.

I allows me to focus my attention on Him and clear my mind of daily life in this world.

That, results in a stronger relationship with God.
