Well said! I have told people before I love speaking to God as if He is on the other end of the phone line - for when you really think about it we have the Holy Spirit who connects us to Christ and our God! We do not have to go all the way to the temple or a prophet or such like people did in the Old Testament!

One thing you do have to be careful of is not "minimizing" God or just praying going to Him when in need - but how we are to give our God praise and honor and so much more!! We are so blessed!

You are right in how just going to Church doesn't make you a true Christian. However just like a child - if they do not go to school or do their studies - how are they going to learn and grow in their knowledge? We are also commanded to take the Lord's Supper. This is not something we are to do just once or a few times a year but every first day of the week for Christ rose on the first day of the weekband we read several times in the New Testament when people took the Lord's Supper on the first day of the week.

Prayer is also such a very powerful way in communicating with God and sharing your thoughts, feelings, your praise to God and thanks, asking questions on things and much more!!

The more time we spend time in prayer and studying God's Word - the stronger we can grow in Spirit and truth!

God made man and women to be united as "1"! It is or at least for true Christians - not 50-50. Often times if not most times when couples or just friends choose to have sex before marriage - this is before the couple has been fully united!

God did not create us so we could have fun with one and when get tired or ready to move on just to close the door! There is so much more!!! A true marriage is to mate for life and this is why it is important to really get to know the other person and them you. It can really make a difference!
