Hi Sunnydaze, I urge you to consider Aloha50's comment above as it's very well stated and much more clearly and compassionately laid out than what I said. God commands us to fellowship because He knows it's good for our soul.

Hi Sunnydaze, I urge you to consider Aloha50's comment above as it's very well stated and much more clearly and compassionately laid out than what I said. God commands us to fellowship because He knows it's good for our soul.
You are absolutely right in that the command is to fellowship (not sit in a building called a church) but that means learning about, praising, and worshipping God together with other Christians. As Aloha so well put it above, it's key to our spiritual growth.
If you like Pastor Gary's at Cornerstones heart and teaching I'd suggest you check out a Calvary Chapel in your area. Cornerstone is part of the Calvary Chapel movement and most of these pastors trained under Chuck Smith who taught them to teach the Bible this way in a kind but uncompromising fashion. I can't vouch for them all of course, but the overwhelming majority are solid Bible churches led by men that love the Lord and emphasize fellowship.
Many of them don't have "Calvary Chapel" in the church's name but are still affiliated with the movement.
