being part of something
We just want to be a part of something. Sometimes anything will do. Religeon can be come this "anything" for us and it will cause our relationship with God to become a religeous experience instead of a personal experience with a personal God. We have to be careful not to make God out to be our own "personal impersonal god". God ends up being impersonal. This makes Jesus, the Christian God out to be the same as all the other God- at least from our practice and mindset. This often happens subconsciuosly or at least subtly. The problem is Jesus is a personal God not an impersonal one which means we are not worshipping Jesus at all but an idol. By personal i mean separate from our own minds and the material universe, etc. (The concept of a personal God, although simple can be better explained by someone else).
The point is through our daily lives and especially through our meetings as Christians
are we reflecting who God really is? and Are we really meeting with God or just doing "something"? Is what we do training us or moving us closer to Him over the years or merely maintaining a social norm?
