I believe but worship at home, is this wrong?

Question

Years ago I was a regular church goer, but for whatever reason I stopped going. I never stopped praying or believing, I just did it where/when I wanted. I recently went to church and although I enjoyed the service, it is just not something I feel is necessary for me at this time. I pray each and every day, I deeply believe in God and know he is a higher power than we. My question to you is do you think it matters or is it wrong for me not to attend church on a regular basis? Does not attending make my prayers any less important? I hate walking around shouldering this quilt because I do not attend church and I am tired of defending my decision to my daughter and others. Do you have any advice for me?

Answer 1

God is everywhere,therefore he will hear your prayers where ever you pray. I am a two hour drive from my nearest place of worship,but God and I have an understanding.I believe in Spirituality,not religions. I hope your child is well, proud army mom!

Answer 2

As a christian we should want to go to church. It helps us to grow in the Lord, and learn more about Him. According to the Bible, we must go to church. Read Hebrews 10:25 about this. We can"t get out of church because we had a bad experience somewhere. Sounds like you should find another Church. Friend, don"t let the devil use this excuse to get you out of church. Church is an importance in a christian"s life. We should want to be around our brothers, and sisters in Christ. You will never find a perfect church. Pray. Ask God where to lead you.You can"t live as close to the Lord away from church. At church is where we get our spiritual food. Keep your eyes on Jesus. I will be praying for you.

Answer 3

The church is not a builden.
the Church (the called out ones) is the people. In the bible, it was a time , when the church met at Peter's house.
God has said "where there is one that comes to me in Jesus's name , I will be there with him.
Most of the so called churches, out there is not the true church of Jesus Christ. You can't join Jesus"s church, you have to be called by God the Father. Jesus said when you talked to God the Father. go to your room by your self, because your conversation with the Father is private.

You can worship God in your house, He will be with you there, come to him from your heart, you can fast and pray in your home. Again , the church is the people, it could be any where.
Tell them God knows about you and He sees you, and you talk to your God in private,as He said you should. Do not give up your faith. Faith is believing God is there and hears you, and if you believe He will take care of you, you don't need the approval of any one else. God is all you need.

Christianity is intended to exist as a community, so that God can work in us through one another. Which is why Paul instructs us, "let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking the assembly, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near". (Heb 10:24-25)

Scripture tells us that the devil is like a lion, seeking someone to devour. Have you ever watched a film of a lion hunting? It doesn't charge into the midst of the flock. It looks for one individual who has wandered away from the flock, thereby becoming vulnerable. It tries to chase that individual farther away from the flock. And then finally it closes in for the kill.

Answer 5

The bible says when you pray to do it quietly and do not do it for show. You're fine.

Jesus prayed for guidance in places of quiet solitude - “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed” (Mark 1:35)

Matthew 6:5-8, When you pray, show no one. Prayer is between you and your Father. DO NOT use vain repetition and don't ramble on and on; keep it short, concise, and to the point. DO NOT ask for earthly things, for your Father knows what things you need to carry out the things he wants you to do.

Answer 6

No it's not wrong. I don't pray in a mosque as my husband will be in trouble with his government if they find out he is married. Plus I don't like the idea of being around non mahram men and women when I pray anyway. And it's better for me as a woman in my religion to pray in my home where no one can see me.

Answer 7

Today's Prophet has it right. Jesus teaches that God IS love.

He had 2 commandments for us:
Love God with all our heart.
Love your neighbor as yourself even if they hate you.

If you manage to love you become part of the kingdom of God.
He said if we love him to keep his commandments (see above and nothing more!).
He also said if we keep his commandments he'll make himself manifest to us (we'll see Christ!)

At that day you will know that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, and I will be in you and you will be in me.

It's the unification through unconditional non-judgmental love.

Anyone that comes in the name of Christ without this love is a liar, to himself if not to you, for he doesn't know anything about God. God isn't about authority; we give authority because of love.

Love and become a revelation of God to all who see you.
