It's not a church if people don't prophesy and are corrected or supported.
The issue of skipping church reminds me of a conversation I had with my pastor about the trend in people attending church and comparing what the preacher says with what scholars like Francis Chan and N.

On many occasions where a doctor is having difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of a condition, the clue is easily found by browsing the internet making sure the information is collated from valid websites. This research must be carefully analyzed before investigating ideas offered for ways of diagnosis and recommended forms of treatment. I have had a suburban Ophthalmologist create surgically induced Glaucoma in one eye with 75% loss of sight just because he hadn't researched readily available information from his professional peers concerning fragments of the old lens falling into the back of the eye during cataract surgery. Also when I was extremely ill and saw a family GP, he told me to go home assuming I was on drugs. It turned out a learned friend who had researched various drugs associated with Downs-syndrome children and adults realized I was suffering Lithium Toxicity a life-threatening condition. Since then I have always researched medicines (like Valproic Acid) and symptoms (like radicular pain caused by pressure on a nerve) and have correctly diagnosed my problem and found info on its treatment. This leads to another Question: Why don't Doctors keep up to date on medical developments like us lay sufferers?
