10. Because we need an alternative to constant messages of a culture that ignores God.

11. Because we need to experience artistic and creative expressions of faith, such as music, praying, fasting and tithing.

12. Because believers need help to reflect on past week and see it as a small part of journey of life.

13. Because we need a conscious break from work, family problems, and self interests in order to concentrate on Lord.

In brief summary, strategies and shcemes of devil are well thought out and proven to work better than marketing strategies of rich corporations like microsoft.

Therefore, we need other people we can count on to help us make it threw tough times when they arise.

Our chances of finding people we can count on in church are far better than finding someone we can count on anywhere else in world.

Plus, going up against these strategies with out proper guidance will lead to unnecessary mistakes being made on our part.

In conclusion, going to church while also doing our own personal bible study at home on a regular basis helps us to get confirmation of God's message and what He wants us to do with our lives.

Jesus told His disciples that if world persecuted Him, they could expect same. We should be encouraged when world attacks us for our stand on morality. We should never cower and run away in face of opposition. We should always stand up and stand against evil. Our resistance is good. It is necessary.

Again Carter says, “The culture may press religions to change; but religions, at their best, press back, often in surprising places. And they press back in a way that no other force does, for transcendence of religious belief proposes an answer higher than mere human striving. The Western religions in their traditional forms all share model of transcendence: answers to most profound questions are found not in human argument, but in will of God, which exists in world in written form and sometimes in an oral heritage as well.”

Never waver in great commission to tell story of Jesus Christ. He is light of world, and darkness will never overcome light. Jesus told us that we are salt of world. Salt will always sting when it breaks through to lesions of filth and corruption. Nevertheless, salt is necessary for flavoring, and we add flavoring by our stand against insipid tastes of indifference. Stand up and be counted. Speak out against status quo. Remind world often that Jesus Christ came to heal world of its sin. Jesus is alive to lift world higher. Jesus is coming again to judge darkness and reward light. Stay light and salt of world. Resist evil.

You were made to resist darkness…

Keep faith. Stay course. Jesus is coming again.
