[Spirit100]

Ever had to explain to someone about whether it is important to go to church? Ever been challenged by someone from another faith? I for my entire life have lived by a philosophy that puts Jesus first and man's word last! I have always put my faith in Christ, not in the words of the man speaking of Christ. Please do not take my words out of context. I believe that God conveys him message through man, and his inspiration can be heard through the lips our our minsters and priests. However, I do not get hung up in the building that is called Church, but rest my soul in the Bible's description that the Church is Christ!

This means a lot to me. I grew up in the Church of God, my Wife in the Catholic Church. After many discussions, debates, and arguments, we have been led to the fact that Christ is the way and the way does not have to go through a particular building. Going to Church does not make us a Christian. But accepting Christ does! I believe that the Church allows us to fellowship and to be in Gods presence. But please don't get lost in the fact that you are ALWAYS in Gods presence.

I pray that each of you receive something from this video.

I certainly respect and agree with you Dusty, and it is my sincere hope you have a bible based church to attend. If not, your welcome to visit the Spirit100 families church "building." We're a bunch of scallywags and scoundrels walking with Jesus Christ and working on making life better for others through our walks and sometimes runs.

And one of the reasons we chose to become members of this church is because I saw this clip at our now church :Thumbs:!

Feel free to pm me if you're in a season that may fit you and yours walk to visit our building , if not, no worries. My family is in a season where it is important for us to attend church for regular worship on Sundays. When schedules permit we participate in a small group and adult bible fellowship.

I told you that to tell you this...life gets busy, the enemy distracts us, tempts us, and wants to get us detoured off the "holy highway." He wants us isolated and separated from fellow believers. Don't let that happen folks. Your never alone with Christ and the enemy can't touch you when you're in the word.

Don't allow the imperfect church buildings to scare you away. You'll never find the perfect church, just like you'll never find the perfect spouse. You can find one that makes you better, looks out for your best interests, and challenges you to grow. You also have to tolerate hurts, hangups, and other issues as we all do everyday. When the Lord brought me to this awareness I was able to make peace with a lot of luggage and simply let it go. The way doesn't have to go through a building I agree. It can and does though all the time.

It can go through bgr also :Thumbs:. I apologize for the long response...the holy spirit made me do it !
