Me I don't think you should practice religion at all. You should either participate or leave it be. Practice? That's something you do for basketball or maybe a play, religion, you live that. Now if you want to live in a building with two or three hundred uptight people trying to make themselves feel good about being guilty of whatever the person behind the podium is talking about, go ahead though.

I DO BELIEVE YOU NEED TO GO TO CHURCH. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE CHURCH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST (EPHS 1:22). SO IF YOU BELIEVE IN JC AS YOUR SAVIOR, YOU SHOULD ATTEND CHURCH TO SHOW YOUR DEVOTION FOR HIM. IS IT REALLY THAT DIFFICULT TO GIVE 1 HR OUT OF AN ENTIRE WEEK TO YOUR LORD, AFTER HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR YOU? BUT YES, YOU MUST FIND ONE THAT IS TEACHING THE WORD STRAIGHT FROM THE BIBLE, AS MAN HAS POLLUTED RELIGION WITH HIS OWN WORDS AND DESIRES. READ EVERYDAY SOME OF THE WORD FROM THE LORD (YOUR BIBLE, OF COURSE), ASK HIM FOR WISDOM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS YOU ARE READING, AND ON AT LEAST ONE DAY A WEEK GO TO A CHURCH. I FIND MY PROBLEM NOW IS, MOST OF MY FRIENDS WOULD RATHER HUSH HUSH ABOUT JESUS, BUT WILL BLABBER ON FOR HOURS ABOUT MEANINGLESS SITCOMS AND MOVIES.

AND ONLY GIVE MONEY YOU CAN.....AND IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD ANYTHING, DON'T GIVE. THE LORD WOULD RATHER YOU BE THERE, THAN YOUR MONEY BE THERE. HE HAS ENOUGH, TITHING IS JUST TO SHOW YOUR TRUST THAT HE WILL PROVIDE YOUR NEEDS AND THEN SOME.....BUT IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE, THE LORD WILL FIND A WAY FOR YOU TO TITHE. JUST LIKE CHARITIES, I KNOW SOME WILL MISUSE YOUR MONEY. BUT WE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO LOOK AT IT LIKE THAT. MANY CHURCHES DO A LOT OF GOOD FOR MANY PEOPLE, AND JUST REMEMBER THAT SOMETIME YOU MAY NEED THEIR HELP, AND JUST LIKE YOU CAN HELP OTHERS, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP YOU. PRAY, TRULY PRAY, AND THE LORD WILL GUIDE YOU TO A CHURCH THAT WILL FIT YOUR NEEDS......GOD BLESS.
