Many times we attend church and spend only a few hours there, singing and listening to a sermon before going back to our everyday routines. We often leave without encountering God or having any conviction of our sins.
Ironically, the most dangerous place we can be may not be in a rough neighborhood or in a red-light district or even on the battlefield. It could be sitting in a church pew every Sunday, never experiencing God's conviction.
Attending church alone doesn't make us Christians. It's our personal relationship with Christ that matters. We respond to the inward expression, and as a result, we attend church and fellowship with other believers who share our faith.
Our true identity should not be based on religion, but rather on Christ. Christ transcends any religion, tradition, or outward display of piety..
