Well, I am a southern baptist. I know that there are many different thoughts on this subject. Let me tell you what I believe. I believe that if you go to church and think of it as a chore then you may not be getting the benefits of attending services. The whole purpose of worship service is to fellowship with other believers. If you go there with an open mind and open heart then you should find a connection with God. It is a good way to help you feel lifted up and know that you are not alone in your beliefs. Sometimes it may seem like a chore, but I can speak from my experience that when you don't go for a period of time you may find yourself wavering in your belief. To me it is a help and a blessing when I attend.

I know what it is like to be in your situation. I was away from God for a while last year, but God brought me through it. Just study your bible. I have found that it contains much more revelation then the typical sermons. I dont know of any churches in that area, but look around. I think if you are truly studying your bible,you will get back on track.

No. You need to humble yourself, don't think more than you are. Work at it, in no time you will be yourself. Leave everything in God's hand He knows what to do

I'm not one of those people that just play them back. So I would go have a good time, but just remember what goes around comes back around. God said you shall forgive no matter how bad they treated you still forgive them and he will handle it.

well, do a bit of repenting now!  \n\nWhat happens if you die on the way to Vegas.  (you know, for "pushing the envelope" too much - and God's horrible sense of humor decides that taking you before you hit Vegas would be really good payback)\n\nIf you are serious about turning your life around (which it does not sound that way to me) Then you will find your way.\n\nBTW, bit of info for ya.....Amongst all the "sin" of Vegas, it has the most Churches per-capita then any other city int he US.

I have found that the answer to our prayer is a lot closer that you think. You can not pimp God. He is sovereign. He will answer your prayer. Maybe you feel like he's not answering you 'cause your focus is on the answer and not him. When you put your focus totally on him and continue to live a life that is pleasing to him, your answer will be sitting at your feet. Focus on God and getting all the mess people can't see like envy, anger, hate, jealousy, covetousness, and the list goes on. We are all a work in progress, but when we take the time to build our relationship with him, instead of asking or "praying" for things, all our desire will be met. Now don't get me wrong, pray.... ask God for what you want and need. Just be prepared and ready to accept ,if he say not now or NO! You are not crazy or confused; life and death are in the power of the tongue. You are Godly person seeking Godly wisdom. Focus on you and everything will have changed because you have..............When what's important to God becomes important to you then what's important to you becomes important to God!=) tRust God even when he feels far away because you know he is always there never to leave you nor forskae you....BE Blessed

sounds like your intellect is taking over the from the "brain-washing" of modern church-run christianity...I do the same as you, and gave up on the so-called christians.  do your own thing, as long as it is good, true, and beneficial to others without spite, judgement and intolerance, you will go to heaven....stay away from the bible thumpers

I can see that you are not having all the fun that you can stand.\nWhen or if you decide to recieve Christ as your Saviour then life will take on some meaning and you will begin to understand what is going on here on planet earth.  When you die, it either gets very very good or very very bad.

it is said in Deuteronomy that when we keep still, we'll here God's voice. often it is the chaos and clamour of the outside world that we hear and distracts, really annoying. as you are asking, you're seeking something spiritual. maybe stopping at a moment, reflect and open your heart. inviet GOd to talk to you. i'm sure He wont ignore you. just listen. stay out of the noisy world. be in silence with God, He'll speak to you..

If you don't want to go, don't. Going to church doesn't make you a better person! It's how you live you life and the values and morals you have that make you who you are. I don't go to church either and have no doubt that I live a good life.

well, it kinda depends on what your issues with that church were.  Is it a church where you feel that you are being spiritually led and where you feel the leaders of the church including the pastor are looking for God's will in the church?  Those are the most important things...if you feel God's sincere presence there and that they are doing God's work.  Then you can overlook or work with them to solve other petty problems.  Good luck and God bless.

Just keep going. Have you ever heard "This to shall pass".  You have to pray and ask God for strength to with stand lifes challenges.  We are here until God take us home and we are here for a reason. God just wants you to stick it out.  It will be okay. You can't do anything about the past and unless you intentionally did something wrong (meaning planned it out), than thats just life. We were not promise that life would be peachy. Challenges, heart aches and pain are apart of life. Take care and GOD BLESS

You may be in the wrong church, mine still preachs about his evil ways. He is as real now as ever. Speak to your pastor about how you feel, we don't sugar coat anything.

I probably won't make it again - looking for a new church that is not so "churchie"
