Sorry, I didn't answer this question.

What I meant by the Church of You, is not to suggest following an isolated religion, but rather that when we stand before God, we will be judged individually according to our own works (I Cor. 3:11-15). You will be acountable to God for your own actions, or inactions as the case may be, your own thoughts, your own words. You will be responsible for what knowledge you gained and what you did with that knowledge. Neither you mom or dad or sister or brother, nor your friends will be there to bail you out. You are on your own in front of God.

But in the case of Christians, of course, the hope is in Jesus Christ, our Advocate (I John 2:1-2).

The only church left when you stand before God is you. How have you measured your life?

Hi Dondi –

I fully understand ... but you will have to forgive me ...

Against His.

He is the Word.

His Church is His gift.

Without the Word, what else do we have, but nature?
