Been thinking a bit lately about church, given that I haven’t been for a while, and don’t have a church to call home. I haven’t found my girlfriend’s church to be to my liking, but have felt the pain of lack of companionship (not that I had any at my previous church). My choice is either to hunt for a suitable church, or look for other options of friendship. According to the author of the above article, time away from the institution is a good thing that allows us to explore other creative options of following Christ, and leads to us being the church rather than going to church. I’m a bit too lazy, so it might take a fair bit of pain for the motivation to act.
