Can Christians Not Go to Church? | Theocast Clips

Is Christianity at all individualistic? Why is the corporate gathering so important? Jon and Justin discuss what the Bible says about these questions and more in this clip from: "I Come to the Garden Alone?"

"I Come to the Garden Alone?" Full Episode:    • I Come to the Garden Alone? | Theocast  

The title for today's episode comes from a 20th century hymn. That hymn is illustrative of the common mindset in the evangelical church--that the real stuff of the Christian life happens when we are alone. Is that what the New Testament teaches? How is it that we grow in the faith? How is it that we become mature in Christ? Jon and Justin consider these questions and discuss how the Christian life is inherently corporate, how devotion is church-shaped, and how the corporate realities of the gathered church drive our private lives.

Semper Reformanda: Jon and Justin give some of their perspective on personal time of Bible reading and prayer. What are healthier ways to approach these things? How does the corporate life of the church help us devotional lives?
