One of the most common questions asked by a new Christian is “What do I do now?” It is a natural question that reveals you are responding to the leadership of God’s Spirit.   Accepting Christ is the beginning of your journey with the Lord. The following will help you find some direction with your new life in Christ by giving three steps to start your walk with God…
(This section is about step 3.  Look for step 1 in earlier posts)

Step 3: Church Attendance
The church was started and organized by the Lord Jesus Christ.  Through the Church each person has Bible istructors available to aid in spriritual growth.  It is through our faith we have victories in life and experience miracles from God.  God also delcares that if we will learn what the Church teaches from the Bible; we will not be easily deceived or misled by false teachings.

~ Jesus started the Church
Matthew 16:18
"And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

~ Jesus died for the Church
Ephesians 5:25
"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it."

~ Your attendance is important
Hebrews 10:25
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

Since the giving of the Ten Commandments, God has required regular Church attendance.  He designed the Church to be an organized means of Bible instruction, personal discipleship, and congregational worship.
