Love it.
So many people think that it's a religion, but going to church, reading the bible, and quoting scripture will not make you a Christian; if you don't develop a personal, intimate relationship with God you have missed the mark.
I used to be a New Member Helper at my church and I used to try to stress those who were new to Christ and most of them did not hear a word I was saying. I would be telling them to communicate with God just like you would a stranger you had just met and wanted to get to know, so they could understand that you had to take it out of the religious sphere and and make it more personal.
All they wanted was to get into a ministry as soon as possible. They wanted to be an usher, a praise dancer, or be in the choir. God was the last thing on their mind.
Some did get it and for that I was truly grateful.
