Go to Church

But why?

Why do we go to the churches we go to? Is it a comfort thing? Some people say that the church that they go to is really following God and that's why they go. But is it? At your core why are you going? This is purely a question. Philosophy may be your answer but if it is or if it isn't imagine if all of the "Christian" churches had the exact same philosophy. Would you still go to the church your in. Why or why not?

The reason I ask is because I was at an aged church the other night and couldn't help notice the love and longing for each other and the Lord. It was good to be there. At the same time I wondered if any of my younger friends would gravitate there based on that or if all the wrinkles and gray hair and o2 tanks would bore them off.

I continue to ask how this "church" thing works and I want to know what you think. Please don't just read this. Help me explore our hearts and this movement called "church".

Rules for posting: Don't just tell me how it is. Tell me how it is with you. I could tell you all of those "young hipster" love to go to Mars Hill because it "cool" but that doesn't help the conversation nor is it edifying.
