(ThyBlackMan.com) Many people visit church on a regular basis. They don’t visit because they feel they have to though – most people genuinely enjoy visiting, and know that there are a ton of benefits to be had from it. If you need a reminder of why visiting church is so beneficial, this post is for you. Read on…
Feel Closer To God
When you visit church, it’s likely you’ll feel closer to God. After all, it’s his home. Churches are well designed so that you feel comfortable there as you worship. While God can be with you wherever you are in the world, when you’re at church, you’ll likely feel much closer.
Pray For Those You Love
Church isn’t just an opportunity to ask for help for yourself. It’s an opportunity to ask for help for the people you love too. Again, you can pray anywhere. But praying in church may make you feel more proactive to whatever situation you are experiencing. There’s also communal prayer, which can feel much more powerful than praying alone. Speaking to God is one of the most valuable things you can do!
Keep Up A Healthy Mindset With Regular Mass
Regular mass can help you to keep up a healthy mindset. If you’re going through tough times, or you’re just feeling a little under the weather, regular attendance can help you to keep a positive outlook. You are being guided by God! Going to church, along with developing other healthy habits, can be a great way to get the healthy mindset you need to live a full, happy life.
Attending Regularly Is A Spiritual Exercise
Attending church regularly is a spiritual exercise. Even the most avid churchgoers don’t feel like going all the time. If you still go even when you’re not really feeling like it, you’ll become stronger and show that you surrender to God’s will. Attending church regularly is the same as keeping up regular exercise even when you don’t much feel like it.
You May Encourage Others To Visit Church
Nobody expects you to preach to others at all. However, by simply going to church, you may encourage others to visit more regularly too. These people may be religious, they may not be. The important thing is that you’re setting an example to others, and showing them what following god is like. If you can encourage just one other person to attend with your own attendance, you’re doing a great job!
Feel More Peaceful And Guided
Going to church, talking through any problems and just sitting with God will always make you feel more peaceful and guided in your life. You will definitely get a sense of peace the more you visit.
Church Unifies People
Church is a brilliant way for people to come together. You can speak with others, share problems and other news, as well as pray and worship together. You always have friends in church. If you’ve ever felt alone or secluded, going to church can help you to strike up valuable friendships and give you people to talk to. Sometimes you may find church chairs in a circle so that everybody can share their thoughts on a particular issue.
Boosted Immune System And Decreased Blood Pressure
Science has actually shown that going to church can give people a boosted immune system, as well as decreased blood pressure. That settles it: going to church is good for your health! Not only is it a great spiritual and mental activity, it’s great for the body too.
Keep Bad Habits In Check
People who visit church on a regular basis have been shown to have less bad habits than people who don’t go. People who attend church tend to drink, smoke, and take drugs less. These habits are bad for our physical and mental well being, so kicking the habits is the best thing you’ll ever do. If you’re looking to stop these things and become the best version of yourself, going to church could be the answer. Church could even help young people to avoid these things altogether.
Now you can see why visiting church is beneficial for all. Really, it doesn’t matter where you choose to speak to God, or even if you want to listen for answers. You can do it in bed, in the middle of the working day at your desk…it really doesn’t matter. But church has been shown to have so many more benefits. Try it and you might just see your life change before your eyes. Thanks for reading!

These are some great benefits that come from worshiping. I had never heard that science proves that church can boost your immune system! It’s crazy that church gives spiritual and physical benefits.
To The Author,
You have been brainwashed by White Savior Programming. The Savior’s name was not Jesus. There was no “J” in the Hebrew of thee Old Testament nor was there any “J” in the Greek that the New Testament was translated from. Yeshua was a Hebrew and He was not white. He was not born in December during the pagan winter solstice. Easter is based on a pagan fertility goddess named Ishtar.
The Christ(Kristos in Greek meaning the Anointed One) did not create ANY denominations, nor did He refer to any follower as a “Christian”. That term, according to the Bible, was used by unbelievers at Antioch to describe the followers of Christ in a negative and derogatory way. The church accepted this and used it. The Bible does not say any of the 5 fold ministry wore collars. That came from the corrupt pagan catholic church who got it from the roman catholics who got it from the romans and their false god worship.
Even calling a minister Reverend is inappropriate. There are only two context for using the term “reverend” in the Bible. The first is that the woman should “reverence” her husband. The second is that God is holy and “reverend”. Stop worshiping a false Europeanized white Messiah called Jesus and making excuses for doing it. But don’t take my word for these things, check them out for yourself and think for yourself instead of letting the pastor think for you.
