1 Timothy 4: 7Have nothing to do with godless and silly myths. Train yourself in godliness
Paul warns against restrictions people place on believers. Anything made by God is acceptable, as long as it is received with thanks. It's good to train your body, but it's more important to train your spirit. That's a kind of training which lasts for eternity, long after the body has died.
This is a sore point with me. I don't feel that people have to attend church to worship, but I doubt that people are training themselves spiritually without a group of followers at their sides. People say that they feel God in the woods or on the golf course, but do they put time into worship there, or are they feeling only the barest shadow of all their faith could become?
Prayer: I want to be trained in godliness. I want to fulfill all the promise that God sees in me. Please hear my prayers for enlightenment, God. Let me see how I can best serve You.
Amen
