I agree Sue, it is all about Him!
We are also created to have fellowship with people - and to worship together. If it is in a church, cell group, small group or with friends, there is great value in meeting together. I think we need both... the time alone having fellowship with the Father, and the time meeting together worshiping Him and learning from each other and speaking into each others lives. Church hopping is not a good thing as people can never get to know you.

Hi Joan
I think you know my feelings on many churches today.....
God said He is not in buildings made of stone, He takes up residence in our bodies, through The Holy Spirit upon our invitation. Through the believer, He reaches out to those lost and hurting.
I often hear folk say things that make me wonder why they go to church in the first place and why they church hop? God is interested in our pure worship of Him, irrespective of where we are. He wants relationship and He wants to live with us and work through us.
I enjoy the corporate worship of attending church and when The Holy Spirit moves it's powerful, but I also like to talk to Him in the quietness of my garden, in my car and wherever I feel prompted, so for me it is not about the church, it's ALL about HIM!
