I agree with you! I don't think God cares whether we go throw money at a church. Okay, maybe that was harsh, no offense intended to those that are regular church-goers. If you worship in your own way, and treat others kindly, I don't believe that God will fault you for not going to church.

The Bible tells you to pray in privacy behind closed doors! I find this accurate!

While I agree with what the others have said, I want you to know that when you don't go to church I believe you are missing the opportunity to be a blessing to others. It seems to me that you have a strong faith, I hope you are willing to share it with others.

To be or not to be....
It is good that you love God and pray and give praise unto Him at home. Fellowship is very important & it sounds like that you are the type of person who would be a blessing to others. I do not condemn you for not attending church, but I do feel that you are missing out on an important part of God's intended blessings. Put away the score card on hyprocrites because they are in many other places other than church. I do not attend to see who is or who isn't what they are suppose to be. I can only anser for me, but I do try to encourage others. Continue to love God and let Him lead, guide, & direct you. Blessings!

I'll be honest...
I hear this alot. It is true that there are hypocrites in the churches, and plenty of them. But at the same time, you can't base what you do for God on what others don't do for Him. The Bible tells us that we should assemble ourselves as Christians even more-so together in the church as we see the last days approaching. Going to church is a way to show God that we put Him first. Sunday is Holy, and I believe that every born again Christian will be at church every time the doors are open, simply because they will have the desire to be there. Church has always been a help to me. I will say that I would rather sit next to a hypocrite at church any day, than to go to Hell because I neglected to His house because of someone elses sins. We can't worry about what others do. We must worry about ourselves. On judgement day, we'll be judged on our doings and not someone elses. I want you to know that I love you whoever you are, and I hope this helped you in some way. Please keep in touch.

I think how one worships is a private matter! I think it is most important to worship and you are doing that eloquently! sam
