"the Lord will understand"????? And I can't say that He won't bless some one who is confused for staying away from church....but there should always be worship.
MY UNDERSTANDING of worship is Biblically based - there is a requirement on worship AND remember that little commandment to love as "God loved the Church" - the Bible says "church" not your own comforts labeled home.......
Lemme say this.... I cap-ped "my understanding" cuz I want you to know that my responses, just like me worship, is personal....it is MINE.......
Additionally, lemme ask this: Who is personally responsible for misdoings and bad instruction in the church? The answer is the pastor who is given charge over his flock. And he will pay a greater price than you and I for any blatant, knowingly misgiving against God and His children......
2ndly, the reason we go to church is to hear from God, to study and learn His words as directed by ppl that He has called....not to survey what things other ppl are doing wrong (as perceived by us). What He has for you - at church - is for you. And who's to say that what we may perceive as an abomination against what is right and ultimately God, that this same situation may be an instraument to turn that person or you as an observer to Him???? We don't know. But don't fail the test.......
