Blog: I read recently that major life insurance companies have done studies and discovered that if you attend church every week you will live on the average 5.7 years longer than people who don’t attend church every week. Just one more reason to attend church every week. But why is this true? One guess I have is that those people who do go to church unload their worries on the Lord. They have learned to decompress. If you don’t talk it out to God, you’ll take it out on yourself. When you swallow your worries your stomach keeps score. You’ve got to let it go, unload it. Paul says if you want to relieve stress here’s what you do...worry about nothing and pray about everything. This sounds simple, but it’s something that you have to learn over and over.
