I don't promote this. I'm just saying...
There is a Huge difference!

Yes, there is a big difference between religion and relationship. Thanks for the illustration.

Works for me!

What a lovely and personal message this is to me! I kayak in the past and still do on occasion. I been on rivers, lakes, the bays, the Gulf Of Mexico, The Saipan Sea and the Pacific Ocean near Guam! I kayak from still tranquil waters to turbulent ones during tropical storms, Hey I needed practice in rough seas from the waters I planned to travel on alone!

I had that unbreakabke defiant spirit of fearing nothing and would beat death with the blade of my oar if it messed with me and yet, the further I got away from the things of man the more I saw the beauty in God!

I was at Tumon Bay near the SouthEast side of Guam when the Holy Spirit of God came to me! I saw the perfection, the love, the pure joy of something so beautiful and pure reach out for me and it overwhelmed me, humbled me and gave me new light of what this world is all about!

We can be alone in this world if we choose to, but its so much better and comforting to know that we're part of the family of God and we don't have to face our battles alone whether we're in calm or turbulent waters and it is that reassurance that gives me the courage to get out of bed everyday to face the world with a happy heart!

Yes I think about God alot! I am a very Spititual person, a wild creature that God found value in! I don't know why He loves me but I am externally greatful and I will love Him till till the end of time!

I belong to something special and I encourage everyone to join the Family Of God where you will never be alone and have a home or in my case a safe harbor to come back to!

I don't know if I would ever find that lesson in church, I'm sure the people's intentions are good, but something seems to be missing for me to understand them. It's like the people there are spiritually dead and they gave up on God and themselves. I don't know how to reach out to them but I hope and pray they can rediscover God one day so the happiness can return to their life!

Well it's strange, spirituality is my religion and whether I am out at sea or on dry land, whether I am in the forest or middle of a large metropolis city I am loved by the grace of God and want you to know that you are too!

Yes. Thank you. I know I'm loved.

But the theme of this group (Champions of Christ) shows that we can worship Jesus wherever we are. We do Not have to be in a "church" building. The true meaning of "church" is
"the Christian religious COMMUNITY as a whole, or a body or organization of Christian believers".
SO, you see, we are a church in the true sense of the word. We are a community. Not just a building where people meet to worship!
