"No," said her husband, "I didn't."

"Did you see the new dress Mrs. Smith had on?" she asked.

"I'm afraid I didn't," said her husband.

To this his wife replied: "Well, a lot of good it does YOU to go to church!"

Many people have a mistaken idea of why they go to church in the first place.  

The Bible tells us that we should not forsake the assembling together with one another, but it's certainly not speaking about going to check the latest fashions that someone else is wearing.  

We NEED each other, and we need to be together to learn more of God's love.  It's a blessing to be with the family of God, but it's ONLY a blessing if we can view it through the lens of Jesus Christ, and not the lens of "self."

Have a great day and God bless!
