When we come to understand that one of the main reasons we assemble is for us to be able to encourage and motivate other Christians, then we will see how misguided the whole “Jesus is enough; I don’t need the church” movement is. That’s an egotistical approach. As long as my needs are met, everything is good.

Our focus in meeting together should be on how to help others be more like Jesus. When we realize that, we’ll never say, “I don’t need to go to church.”
