You should join a church because...

Scripture indicates it.

  In the book of Acts

  letters were delivered to   

  and people were added to

  churches  (18:27; 2:47)

Discipline requires it.

  In 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

  the church is given the

  responsibility to

  discipline believers.

Example enjoins it.

Believers desired

  to meet together

         (Acts 2:42)

God appointed it as

    the gathering for Christians

         (Heb. 10:25)

    the center of His work

         in this age

         (1 Tim. 3:15)

The body is a unit,

though it is made up of many parts.

so it is with Christ.   (1 Cor. 12:12)

But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body,

every one of them,

just as he wanted them to be.  (1 Cor. 12:18)

so that there should be no division in the body,

but

that its parts should have

equal concern for each other.   (1 Cor. 12:25)

Now you are the body of Christ,

and each one of you is

a part of it.(1 Cor. 12:27)

Remember we are the Body of Christ:

God has placed us in the Body of Christ

There should be no division

in the Body of Christ

We should be concerned

for one other.

Some books to check out regarding the church:

The church's focus has to be

the bridegroom, Jesus Christ

or it is not really a church.
