Going To Church Alone...

"What's the matter with going to church on your own?" -- Krystal

"You are never really going to church alone, if you think about it, there is always a community of fellow believers. Upon entering the church, you become one with the "family" oriented congregation and in the house of God, you are His child and family. "
{"Steve, I'm going to correct you in my blog."
"Don't CORRECT me... that was philisophical"}
But alas, I must correct him. We are God's children ALWAYS, not only when we are in the Lord's House. However... when two or more gather in His name.... so... that happens when we are at church, regardless of whether we are at church or not, actually.

So, why am I writing about going to church alone? Let me first define alone, as to not merit any confusion. When I say alone, I mean that you are not entering the building with anyone, or plannly meeting any of your friends or family there. Likely, you are going to sit alone. Alone, in this case, means without the presence of other people. I know that God is always with us. But I just don't like going to church "alone". I'm not a fan. Its a little overwhelming, and a little out of my comfort zone.

I'm still going to do to church, don't get my wrong. Its just going to be that much more out of my comfort zone than going to a new church in a new city with new people and knowing no one there already is. That's all. I'm not a fan, I'm just not.

Unfortunately, for the thing that is trying to keep me from going to church... Thats not really going to stop me or render me anymore useless and/or important.

I just wanted to put that out there!

The End!

I'm a huge fan of "going to church alone". There's something incredibly exciting about not knowing anyone, and yet being familiar with your surroundings....because none of those people are really strangers...they're brothers and sisters. It's like that six degrees thing. We know everyone in the world through six people...but really we all know each other through one man: Christ.

I am also a huge fan of going to church alone...in fact, I prefer it. Not to say that when I go with my family, or friends I don't have a good time...but sometimes, I just need to be alone with God and it's nice to do it during a service. You should do what you feel comfortable with...but I just thought I would let you know what I was thinking :)
