For years I have had the mindset of expecting to “be changed” every time I leave a church service - I mean where there is a definitive difference. I admit there were times in the past that I was looking under the pew for God because it didn’t seem like He had made it past the usher in the vestibule! Don’t take me wrong – I believe the Spirit of God dwells in the believer (I Corinthians 3:16)... that God has promised to never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5) – but some of you know what I’m talking about when you are in those incredible services where you can feel the presence of God and hear Him speak to your heart! And some of you know what it is like to be in a “dead” service where the Holy Spirit is not given liberty.
I wonder how many gospel singers do not have a church home... I wonder how many have a church home but do not attend... Most groups don’t sing on Wednesday night – do they take the time to get filled and refreshed after ministering Thursday through Sunday? Please believe that I say this in love – I’m concerned about those in our particular area of ministry who seem to get so easily defeated over small things and some whose ministry does not last because of a lack of discipline. Many can find strength to endure these trials just by simply “anchoring” to a local church. Singing in a church should never be an exchange (or an excuse) for Hebrews 10:25. There are many groups who are active in a local church who are living proof of the stability it brings. When you truly know what it is like to encounter the Lord on a regular basis through corporate worship, I believe you will be hungry to get to church as often as possible! You just can’t substitute the peace and encouragement – the guidance and leadership – of being based out of a church that loves and supports you, as well as your ministry. Our family is blessed to have a church just like that! I hope you do to!

Wonderful article. I couldnt have said it better.
What a great message.
Sally,
Great job Sally! Way to go Quicks! You guys are the best!
Sally what a great article. And so true!
Accountability, Accountability. Accountability! Sally, I believe this is where we as a church need to begin or should I say get back to. You don't find many christians encouraging others anymore. I thank God for the Quicks whom God used to hold me accountable and encouraged me to follow through with my education and call into full-time ministry!
I agree with you Sally as well as the commentators on your article.
