Yep. Only IN CHRIST do we find salvation and in HIM alone, not religious rites from any church. They may make us feel closer to Him but they don't save folks. Churches are full of legalistic junk that keeps us from knowing Christ in a personal way. He wants our willing hearts, hearts that will worship Him, not even our sacrifices will do without that.

Christ gave us an institutional Church. Why do you rebel against this teaching?

STRONGLY AGREE.
And then there's the BEING WITH HIM vs worshipping DOING things for him. Still a growing edge for me.
Thanks tons for your exhortations and prayers.
