What does church mean to you?

The main important thing about church is that christians are meeting together to consider the Bible. That is what really counts.  The more rituals take place in a church the less people are focusing on the the only book that can tell us what we need to know.If you are going to church to gain brownie points( notch up points to get you nearer to God.)  Going to as many meetings as you can to be in God's favour.  Think again.  There is absolutely nothing you can do to get into God's favour.  You can't give Him anything because all that you have is already His.  Yes that handsome amount of money in the collection plate is His already.  Your very life belongs to Him, your strength and therefore what you earn.  All these attempts to get nearer to God on your own terms are not only a waste of time, they are a huge insult to him.  God has decreed the only way back to Him and that is through trusting in Jesus alone.  So stop being stupid,TRUST IN JESUS.
