A Church less Faith

The idea of this blog post came to me during class a week ago and I have thought about it for a while. This idea of a church less faith has been my life lately. There is not a church I call mine and to be honest I have not been to church in two weeks now and I have not been to the same church every Sunday since December. So here I am wrestling with this idea of a church less faith. Can you have a faith without church? Does church give you your faith? Why do we need to go to church to have faith? My conclusion you may ask is: It is possible to have a church less faith. My faith has actually been stronger since I've broken away from the church. Yes, I still have my days where my faith is barely glowing and yes I think my faith would be stronger if I was surrounded by a church, but there is a lot I have learned since being church less. My faith is purely mine. God pursued me and I fell into his arms. Not let my clarify: I am not saying church is bad; I am only saying that we need to evaluate the church in our faith. It's easy to get caught up in the drama of the church,; the who said what and who did this, but that is not what church was meant to be. Church is supposed to be a place where you can be spiritually fed and led. A place where you can worship God authentically and find peace. It was not created for socializing and to make an appearance. It was created to be a place that is completely Gods. A place where God is in every single aspect. Somehow we have lost that. So this leads me to the church less faith. My faith has been strengthened these last three months. God found me and really broke my heart. He broke it of things that had been eating me up for years and he opened it to see the truth. I've learned how to truly forgive, to truly feel, and to truly have a relationship with God. As much as I have disliked these hard times I have walked through in the last four months, I would never take them back. They have prepared me for a lot in life and have given me an even more unique story. Think about your faith and your church. Do they go hand in hand? What makes you go to church every Sunday or Wednesday? Is it for God or is it for yourself? Take time to let God show you what you are missing. Pin It
