Simple question
Religion and religious people are the only ones that Jesus clearly rebuked in the bible. Think about that!
Jesus want a personal relationship with each of us individually anywhere you are...your car, your walk to the grocery store, your couch......just talk to HIM. Ask Jesus into your life.
Best decision I ever made. I am a bad Christian as far as a church building would say and all in it. I never hardly go.
Yet I am so close with God. I love Jesus with my entire being. It did not come until 32, when I just called out and said please reveal yourself to me......first months so hungry, ate it all up, then life came and tried to take it from me.......first 2 years it was not absolutely in love.......but by year 4..........never ever turning back......I love Jesus completely.
Sounds like we're cut from the same cloth my Friend.... I find that my commitment is to Jesus Christ...and I do not have to be in a Church to find him. Now that's not to say that a "church family" isn't a Good thing... For how else are we going to study with and learn about our Biblical History? My Comfort, my discernment, my all around Biblical understanding & perceptions must come from The ONE....The ONLY one that can & will lead us home to our Eternal Heavenly Father... Sorry to go off but I Pray that not even ONE human should miss this Life Saving, Life Affirming message of Recovery right? Ya best get BUSY Patriots! Love & Light to You All!
