Obsessed with Church

[allstate1]

Let me put my opinion out there. It seems that in my small circle church has replaced God. Or in the very least equates to God. Church has become a gauge and thermometer for pastors and saints to compare each others spirituality. I do not attend Church and I am a descent person I don't smoke, drink, cuss, steal, fornicate, nor adulterate. I do and don't do what the "average" person sitting on a UPCI church pew do. I have received the Holy Ghost and been baptized my belief and faith in this remains the same. However, since I do not attend I am a heathen. I do not understand how my attendance three times a week will change my salvation. Should I and do I need perfection in my walk? Of course Do I need guidance ? Sure I do? But I do not get that by going to a church and hearing the same few songs sang over and over until the same few people do their thing and the same few people get "prayed thru" for the humpteenth dozen time. Or an evangelist screams and yells till everyone loses bobby pins and toupees. Then call that good church. Seem like the days of bible teaching and a sermon that will stick with you Tuesday morning are gone. Back to my original point. How many times have you heard a testimony or a minister say " I just couldn't wait to get back in church its been a rough week". Or '' So glad we have a midweek service a week is too long between Church" . Or some similar statement about being in Church. I ask myself, What did these people get? Jesus or Church?? Jesus is as close as the mention of His name. Not as close as the Wed. night service. How many times have you heard of visitation or passing out tracks without mentioning a Church' just Jesus Christ? Then there is people like the one mentioned in my first post. Are they scared that missing a service will look bad to the saints and pastor? Or they scared that missing a service jeopardizes salvation?
