Church is important (imagine that)

From Mark Dever (The Deliberate Church):

While our individual walks are crucial, we are impoverished in our personal pursuit of God if we do not avial ourselves of the help that is avaiable through mutually edifying relationships in our covenant church family (Eph. 4:15-16; Heb. 10:24-25).

...the corporate life of the congregation should be central to the life of the individual believer (John 13:34-35; Eph. 3:10-11; 4:11-16; Heb. 10:24-25; 1 Jn. 4:20-21). We can't live the Christian life alone. We are saved individually from our sins, yet we are not saved into a vacuum. We're saved into a mutually edifying community of believers who are building each other up and spurring each other on to love and good deeds.

That last paragraph particularly is worth reading again (and again).
