church

I find myself still not seeing the point in church even after everything I have visted a few here and a few in edmond and sa and everything I still feel like Im not growing or learning anything and I feel like Im growing more in my talks with my friends and my personal prayer time and peprsonal bible studies than i do from any church sermon being preached It also doesnt help the I know too well the politics facing ALL CHURCHES and because of those Politics I feel that going to a church building on sunday morning than talking, reading and praying with my friends and Gods tells us that where two or more grathered he is there with us and I feel like when I do that, that respents what Church should be and I tend to feel closer to God and learn more about him than I do with any thing done in the Church  so whats the imporance of church when it comes down to it all i see is the politics and it echos out to outsiders more than people will ever admit and I feel that when i do stuff with my friends is more a vaule to my personal walk and in talking with a few of my closest friends they all actually see where im comming from and agree and i know the church is made of sinners and im no different and i understand that it also made of people with different points of views and not seeing eye to eye on everything but also see churches taking advantage of people when theyre suppose to be helping them  i think my kiki had it right when she meet with her pastor weekly and read her bible although big crowds scared her for me i dont see the point in church so i will countie my personal studies and talking with friends because church is just pointless in my eyes and heart

Yes, churches do have politics. They're filled with imperfect people, and you and I are no better than them. We ALL need God's grace.

If you are above the need for the stupid politics, then you should be there in church for your good influence.

Don't go with the "what's in it for me?" attitude. That's no good and you are 100% guaranteed to be disappointed.

Go to serve God and others instead of asking what they can give you. If you do, you will find that church offers you the opportunity to serve, and that that is enough.
