"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace." Acts 20:24

How important is the church in your spiritual life?
This video was in a Desiring God blog over the weekend, and I really appreciated the insights that David Powlison (from the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation) gives in it. He explains in detail the role of the church in personal sanctification (growing in holiness). Whether you currently attend a church regularly, for special occasions only, or not at all, if you profess to be a Christian, I'd encourage you to watch this. He doesn't only give his opinions, rather he heavily leans on what the Scriptures have to say, and in my opinion, he gives great reasons about why we should all be in community with a local body of Christ.
Thanks to the Desiring God team for creating this video and to Justin Taylor for following it up with helpful links here.
