"Everywhere there is a tendency to substitute the work of organizations for individual effort. Human wisdom tends to consolidation, to centralization, to the building up of great churches and institutions. Christ commits to His followers an individual work---a work that cannot be done by proxy. Ministry to the sick and the poor,the giving of the gospel to the lost, is not to be left to committees or organized charities. Individual responsibility,individual effort,personal sacrifice, is the requirement of the gospel."
(from The Ministry of Healing).
The Church and its "activities" should not be the focal point of a Christian's life,following Jesus and obeying His teachings are what truly matters.
