I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: —Revelation 3:15–17
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? —Psalm 85:6
Considering our need for personal growth, the value Christ placed on the church, the price He paid for it and the commands of Scripture regarding the local church, I believe Dr. Lee Roberson had it right when he suggested Christians need “three to thrive.”
Having three services a week—Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and a midweek Bible study and prayer service—is a benefit, not a burden, to the spiritual health of God’s people.
