Why we need to gather as a church

"In that regard, pastors should encourage people away from virtual “attendance” as much as they are able. I recently said to my fellow elders, “Brothers, we need to find a gentle way to remind our members that the livestream option is not good for them. It’s not good for their discipleship, and it’s not good for their faith. We want this to be clear to them, lest they become complacent and not work hard at gathering with us, if they can.” The Bible’s command to gather is not meant to be burdensome (see Heb. 10:25; 1 John 5:3), but for the good of our faith, our love, and our joy."
