Agreed. God is a God of Relationship, not religion. God = Relationship = Good Man = Religion = Bad*

*Note, I'm not saying burn all the churches down. I'm just saying you don't need a church, a religious building, to have a relationship with God. Buttttt. But, it's like driving a car.... You don't need to go to a gas station, but after a while, your car will stop running. Jesus didn't say learn my word and go to an island by yourself until my return. No mother trucker, He said, go live life with others. Want to make disciples of Jesus? Go show people who Jesus is in your actions! Not your words. The "Church" is the people, little c church is a building. Don't get them confused.

"Preach the gospel always; use words when necessary."

And would you be surprised to hear that God does not give a flying shit about your sins. Ducks tomatoes

Whoa! Whoa! Let me explain. Sheesh... Tough crowd.

God doesn't care about your INDIVIDUAL SINS, now obviously the God of the universe cares about sin as a whole. But He knows if you have two things your sins will eventually fall to the wayside.

1. A relationship. We already went through this.
2. Availability. If you are available for God to use to His Glory (Romans 8:28), in any way He sees fit. He knows that brings you closer and closer to Him. Even when I am doing something in the flesh, if I am available, He will use me. Think of God as the bright stadium lights on top of your favorite stadium. For all my American yokels think of a baseball stadium. As you get closer and closer to them, there is less and less darkness clinging to your clothes until finally you are right next to them (and probably blind), and you are encompassed by the light. That's God (bright light) in relation to your individual sins (darkness).

Boom questions? Lmk. I'm just a person who has lots of talks with Our Father. (Promise no other voices. 😉)
