| Message | I am thankful for your web-site. You say things which I have felt inside my heart. Approx 18 months ago, I was attending a big church (approx 7000 attending). I trusted its leader. But, he fell down and did some things to hurt a brother. He used his power to hurt, to squelch questioning of his motives. He struggles with pride and would not repent. So, I had to leave that place. I have been searching for another place to go. But in 18 months, there has been many closed doors. At first, I thought there must be something wrong with me. Why can I not find a church to belong to? I am troubled by many things in church as we know it. Why does it have to be so complicated? Why does it take so much money? I just want to do what Jesus wants. I am confused. I don't belong anywhere. I grew up in the Baptist Church. The church I left was non-denominational. I have gone to church all my life. When Sunday comes, I don't know where to go. I want to study the Bible. I want to talk with other Christians about what the passages mean to them. I want to bring the gospel to others. I want my life to count for something. I want to help the persecuted Christians and to help the poor. I keep thinking I will go to a place and His Spirit will tell mine...this is the place! But this has not happened. Well, I have talked enough. As you can see, I am mixed up. But, it helped me to read your website. Now, I don't feel that I am crazy. Debbie |
