Well - why did the Holy Spirit fail to mention it? Christians 'want' to go to Church - it's a joyful duty, mixed with gratitude and a desire to hear God speak to us through His Word.
Why would one wish to spend eternity with God in heaven if one is not prepared to spend an hour with Him on earth?
If all had the same attitude we would all end up being hermits.Or fair-weather Christians. How one's theology is to be shaped by the weather is surely disturbing.
Why a Christian would wish to give the impression that the attendance on the means of grace is an intolerable burden I fail to understand.
