So I was thinking about skipping church. Or rather, about a statement made by a coworker that "no one would miss you at [insert mega-church name here] if you skipped a week." Initially, I agreed. I attend a mega-church and it is easy to get lost in the crowd. But then a thought popped into my head: "If you're not missed, why go anyway?"

1 Corinthians 12:12 begins the passage on the body of believers and how everyone has a function. This analogy not only applies to the worldwide body of Christ-followers, but to the church as well...the church being defined as a gathering of believers, not necessarily in a special building. God has gifted each of us with something to bring to the table. A talent. A skill. A thought. A word. Something. Thus if we aren't missed at church, I'd say there is a good chance we're not contributing as we have been instructed. We have got to get past the mindset that church if for us, so we're only hurting ourselves by skipping.

Does that mean skipping church is a sin? Depends on your motives...

Being "miss-able' has a price. Time. Money. Maybe pride.

Don't kid yourself. Being lost in the crowd--any size crowd--is just an excuse.

Be miss-able.
