I started to think, why go to church, when it makes me feel more frutrated, yet in fact you can actually worship and pray better alone with God, without any distraction from the crowd. When I look at Jesus's life, isn't it what He did all the time too? He likes to stay away from the crowd and just worship and talk to God alone, even without His disciplines.
If that's the case, why go to church then? Well, fellowship. But I could have fellowship with followers without gonig to the building called "church". I could still share God's love to everyone surround me, without going to "church", and that's what Jesus did too. He barely goes to church and teach, instead He lives His life and His whole life is Church. Jesus loves and cares people around Him, regarless time and place.
So what's the purpose of going to church according to the bible?
Yes, I don't like to deal with the people, especially church people, I guess because I put a higher expectation to them, yet we are actually no different to people who dont believe. I guess one purpose of gonig to church is that, through tails with people, it is an opportunity from God to mold us and become more mature in spirit.
>>I actually get some answer from reading this artical. :P
