       Contention five: God doesn’t dwell in places built by humans. Therefore, I don’t need to go church. I can just have a relationship with God on my own. It’s true; a person can have a relationship with God without being actively involved in a local church. The issue is that God wants people to involved with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Just reading the New Testament through, it becomes obvious, rather quickly, that fellowship with other believers is pretty important to a balanced Christian life, being pleasing to God and helping others. You have to look at it as it’s not so much what you will get from others, but rather it’s what you can contribute to better others. Remember what President John F. Kennedy said in his inaugural address. He said, “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” Well, in the same way ask not what your church can do for you, but what you can do for your church.
