Why I Don't Go To Church

Today I am thinking about how VITAL it is in these days to have a personal relationship with The Most High.

My mate and I have what I consider to be CHURCH on a whim.  Every day, throughout the day.  It is because we have invited the DIVINE spirit to live here with us.  That is the benefit of my perception of "church".

I don't feel obligated to dress up, gas up and drive to a place where I think GOD lives so that I can pray, praise and/or fellowship.  This is where I think most church going folks might find a problem with me.  Nope...i am NOT interested in a church home.  Nope...don't wanna join your church.  Who is your Pastor? Do I know him? Why should I follow his teachings?  

My church IS my home...and vice versa.

Why do I think church should be in the home?  I think people's whole learning experience and spiritual education is depended on what that man/woman behind the pull pit spoon feeds them 1 - 2 times a week.  I am not knocking church.  I feel like church is a good "supplement" to your spiritual education.  After all, would you live solely off chewable vitamins and mineral supplements? or would you eat real food and fill in the blanks with a supplement?  That's what I feel church is.

Are you okay with your spirituality reaching a glass ceiling?  Your pastor knows so much more than what he/she is telling you.  That's because his message can only go so far, teaching so many people who are all on different spiritual levels.  Have you studied YOURSELF to show yourself approved?

Why is the average person so comfortable putting their children and spouses' spiritual growth in the hands of someone else. A single human being behind the pulpit.  A person who The Most High gives revelations to...just like you can get them yourself if you just stop and devote your attention to The Message...

Man...are you comfortable letting another man tell your family how they should behave spiritually?  Is that not your responsibility as the leader of your household?  You tell them, "go and listen to this man at the church.  I can't tell you the right thing...I am not capable... I am not worthy."  

What is the message you are sending to your children.

I know i'm pissing some people off with this.  I'm not inclined to care much really.  My purpose is to provoke thought.  To encourage us to examine ourselves and why we do the things we do.  Do we do things out of habit or tradition, or do we feel a true connection to the things we do?
