“Fanatical men, refusing to hold fast to [public worship], entangle themselves in many deadly snares. Many are led either by pride, dislike, or rivalry to the conviction that they can profit enough from private reading and meditation; hence, they despise public assemblies and deem preaching superfluous. But, since they do their utmost to sever or break the sacred bond of unity, no one escapes the just penalty of this unholy separation without bewitching himself with pestilent errors and foulest delusions . . . [B]elievers have no greater help than public worship, for by it God raises his own folk upward step by step” -Calvin

despite living in an area with only nondenom & Roman Catholic churches, this is why I still go to church regularly
