Why do you need to go to church regularly?
Cliffe Knechtle
In an episode of George Janko show, Cliffe Knechtle answered a common question: If Christianity is about our relationship with Jesus Christ, then why do we need to go to church? The pastor explained that it’s because we need each other to grow as Christians.
“I can’t see God, neither can you. I can’t hear God’s voice audibly, and neither can you. But guess what? I need you, you need me. That’s what the Church is, the people of God who want to get to know an unseen God who doesn’t speak audibly so you can hear Him, He speaks deep within our spirit and within our heart. And yet, that can be confusing. That’s why we need church, to hear God speak to us through other believers who we build friendships with, who encourage us, who teach us, and who hold us accountable. Church really does help us.”

Go to church regularly
Tyler Vanderweele, a professor at Harvard School of Public Health, previously studied the benefits of going to church. His study shows that going to church regularly helps us in many ways.
“When you go to church regularly, the mortality rates go down 20 to 30%. You lead a healthier life. To regularly attend church services, you’re more optimistic, you have lower rates of depression and lower rates of suicide, you have a greater purpose in life, you are less likely to divorce, and you are more self-controlled.”
It is true that some churches may have flaws, that’s why it is important to find a church with people who are genuinely seeking to know Christ. Pastor Cliffe also emphasized that the church is a hospital where broken people are being healed by the grace of God and by His Holy Spirit.
