Over the last few years, there has been a steady decline in the U.S., not just in church attendance, but in church involvement as well. There are so many other things that people devote their time and energy to that getting connected with or volunteering at a church has taken a back seat to other priorities. But is it really important whether I go to church or not? What if I go to church fairly regularly but I don't really participate? Does it matter whether or not church matters to me?

From Series: "Heart Check"

We all have certain things that inspire us or get us excited, things that we don’t mind devoting lots of time, energy, and maybe even finances towards. We often describe this enthusiasm for a certain thing as something we “have a heart for.” At Flagstone we’re starting off the new year by giving ourselves a “heart check.” We’re taking an honest look at the things we are most devoted to and checking to see if we have a heart for the things our God is passionate about.
