How do you deal?
Those of you who have walked away from the IC... when someone throws Hebrews 10:25 in your face, how do you calmly deal with the situation? It's all I can do not to call them idiots and morons and explain that it doesn't say you have to go to church. It calls for fellowship. But they're typically too dense to get that anyway. So how do YOU deal with it?

I don't respond and I don't let it bother me. I just listen and remember that we all are in different stages of our spiritual growth and maturity. I remember when I used to be that person, and what it took to get me past that point to the place I am now. Where am I at now? I recognize that I don't need the organized church in order to have a relationship with God, or to tell me how to treat others or how to live my life. But I also recognize that it took me a long time to get to where I am now, and the fact is that organized religion played a part in that process...it was part of my journey. The bottom line is that if you know God and have a relationship with Him, then you will hear His voice and let Him lead you along your path. He will get you where you need to go, and He will get those other people where they need to go, too.
