I struggle with going to church here in America. I love Jesus and I know Scripture pretty well, I think, for someone who wasn’t raised in a church. I have also participated heavily in church in past years (ministries, conferences, groups, etc). I have also been Baptized and had hands laid on me, I believe I am being led by the Spirit of GOD, but I moved away from that particular town/church and I know it has changed since then. I just keep getting the feeling that alot of churches just practice a form of religion (self righteousness) and don’t really believe much of their Bible at all. I feel like their relationship with GOD is merely superficial or just lip service. I want to fellowship with people that desire to be like Jesus and please GOD. So one hand I desire to go anyway, just to possibly be a light, but also I don’t want to be fellowshipping with a people that practice a false or paganized religion. Do I just go church hopping every Sunday until I find a place I am comfortable? Do I just go somewhere convenient and try to influence it? Or do I just minister to the people in my life daily and actually stay home the last day of the week and Rest or Sabbath. A full day of genuine rest from anything laborious sure sounds good. I prefer giving directly to people as GOD leads rather than through an institution or organization. I’m thinking I may just actually celebrate a Sabbath with Rest and find a mid week service to attend. Any suggestions? I try to love all people, but I want to do exactly what GOD wants me to do (HE may have just answered my question while texting this, lol.)

It is very hard to find a doctrinally sound church that hasn’t been corrupted by the pantheism the New Agers, or the mysticism of spiritual formation, or occult practices, or the emergent church and social justice etc. I have found that Independent Bsp… See more
