Can’t Make It To Church?

Is it true that a committed Christian can go to hell if he or she does not attend Church every Sunday? When I say “committed Christian” I mean someone who has accepted Jesus as their personal lord and savior and who also refrains from sinning.

Q. Is it true that a committed Christian can go to hell if he or she does not attend Church every Sunday? When I say “committed Christian” I mean someone who has accepted Jesus as their personal lord and savior and who also refrains from sinning. I was wondering about this because I know a lot of committed Christians who don’t go to church because they lead very busy lives.

A. While the Bible tells us that it’s good to be in fellowship with other believers, there’s no prohibition against missing Church. But I have to wonder that if a “committed” Christian can’t find a couple of hours once a week to worship the Lord he or she claims to be committed to something must be wrong.

If you were in a “committed” relationship with someone and he could never find time to see you, wouldn’t you begin to doubt the strength of his commitment?
