Is Church Membership a Privilege or an Obligation?

Brethren,
Is Church Membership a Privilege or an Obligation?  This is especially appropriate in the face of the cultural Christianity prevalent in the Bible Belt.  We have to ask ourselves why we do church. Is it because we always have since we were kids?  Is it because we are afraid of arousing the ire of our family and peers?  Or is it because we realize that we are God's children and that we have a cherished place at His family table?
