When we don't want to go to church is when we most need to go to church. When we're tired, cranky, or just feeling down is when we need to hear the Word of God the most. Also, at church there are fellow members who can talk with you, and pray with and for you.
It's the place to be, especially when you least feel like being there. It's a place to get rejuvenated through fellowship and teaching.
So, the next time we start to feel like we just don't want to go to church - when we start pouting because all we really want to do is curl up in pajamas under a blanket and not go anywhere - remember that it's where we need to be, because it will help. A lot.
