1 | How important is your Church? | Bible general Archive 1 | Brian.g | 29006 | ||
I would appreciate some feedback to this question. And, I am asking you NOT to identify your denomination. How important is your specific church in your personal relationship with Jesus? Scale: 1 preferred, but not really 'needed' 10 extremely important - must have Comments are optional, but I would appreciate as many responses as people are willing to share. Thank you |

with exceptions, i would say 10 - extremely important. the way i see it, you can't seperate the Body from the Head. the church is the Body, Christ is the Head. so the two go hand in hand. exceptions, of course, are Bible-based cults (better off solo), and if you were in some prison where you were the only christian - well, you wouldn't cease being a christian because you were not in a church. but ultimately, i think the Bible is pretty clear that church community is essential to all mature, healthy christians. |

I think Brian meant YOUR church, not church in general. I agree church in general is very important and the way you said, even more important, but I think he's asking about the particular church each one of us goes to. Like you mentioned, some churches you'd be better off w/o. :) | ||||||

right - ok - the church i am part of is a vital part of my life, not just sunday but every day. by choosing to make active involvement in the community of the christian faith a priority, we set in place accountability, encouragement, instruction, and corporate prayer and worship. these are integral aspects of my faith, just as the time i spend alone with God in my living room is integral. | ||||||

Algumwood, I like your answer. You seem to have found the right balance in your spiritual life between community and solitude. Jesus followed this pattern in His ministry on earth. He was involved, deeply involved, in the spiritual life of His community, yet He always found the quiet times to be alone with His Father. How then can we err to follow so perfect a pattern? ..... This was your first post. Please, don't fear to tread on the Welcome Mat; it's for you! --Hank | ||||||
