On the Sunday following Pentecost why did people assemble? To listen to a preacher I doubt it. How about remembering what Jesus did I doubt it? Feeling alone and wanting to associate with people who believed as they believed, probably.
Why do we assemble, habit, nothing else to do, yes? Years ago I knew a man who came to work every Saturday, although his job did not require it. He would come in, eat a doughnut, drink coffee, visit with those trying to work and leave after noon. Why did he come in? He had worked on Saturdays for so long he did not know what to do until he “went to work and came home.” Most Christians habitually “come to church” because they do not know what to do on Sundays until after church. Think before you answer: if it was possible to have everything that Heaven offers with the exception that God was not there would it matter? Personally, I do not care if God is there or not I would take it.
