So do you think a person who goes to church on Sunday is better then one who reads the bible almost every day, and also tries his or her hardest to be better each and every day and also has that mustard seed of faith and maybe even more?

Better? None of us are better. But, there are a gazillion churches in America. Most of the “daily bible readers” are just that: readers. They choose the passages they want to read and make sure that they fit into their lifestyle. The people who go to church are forced to face tough questions that might make them question the success of their efforts to “be better each and every day”.
80% of Americans claim to be Christian. 20% go to church. Do you believe that the 60% are devout Christians who devote real time to reading the bible, real prayer, and time of reflection? Most of them do none of that. Many of the ones who do read a daily devotional and consider that to be enough.
There are some serious disciples who never go to church. So, I ask them “why?” The church needs people like that now more than ever. If you think that you are too good for church, then you are just the right person to be in a church.
