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.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
