“I know there are some who say, ‘Well, I have given myself to the Lord, but I do not intend to give myself to any church. ’Now, why not? ‘Because I can be a Christian without it.’ Are you quite clear about that? You can be as good a Christian by disobedience to your Lord’s commands as by being obedient?... I do not believe that you are answering your purpose. You are living contrary to the life which Christ would have you live, and you are much to blame for the injury you do.” —Charles Spurgeon
