Even if i go to some churches i feel like its a total waste of time…. Earlier i used to contribute to a small time pastor to build a church but he cheated all my money and he was dead wrath of god …. When i received God I went to church to know about him, but i actually learned about god thru bible stories and in prayers…But now it became an obligation…. There is a CPM church in my place who never ask money explicitly…their service is very lengthy and they also proclaim they are the holy ones and other churches are not…Should I go there?
Right now I have mouth cancer symptoms and my wife is accusing me that I got it bcoz i didnt go to church…Should i go to church again? I hope you find somewhere you find at peace. You did not get mouth cancer because you did not go to church my friend God plans for you are for good and not for evil do not believe this pray to God for direction and how to serve him with peace.
What you have observed is correct. Pastors have made churches just a crowd funding business. A pastor who collects money is a false prophet and even anti-christ Brother Jegan preached of the Judas Iscariot spirit — Jesus and his disciples never collected money especially if they raise a fund for building a church, then that pastor is a false prophet. The biggest reason why there is no miracle in churches is because of the above said reason. Ask them to heal or do a miracle, they will run away.
There is no need to feel that you fell sick because of not going to church. Please tell you wife also to stop being a pagan christian or just stop being a christian and just follow Christ, the shepherd like a faithful sheep.
There are 7 stages of spiritual life that you can keep checking yourself where you are at, at any given point in time:. Miracles and healing too are released only here. Then God will make you hear from donkey. The worst stages to be in is the 7th stage and the 4th stage. You will never see your prayers answered, but the pastor will be growing and growing and growing in money even when they preach wrong yes, there are plenty of pastors who preach wrong, for eg.
To be in first stage like Moses is what God desires for us to be in. But you can never reach there without the greatest helper Holy Spirit and Jesus. Seek His face and not His hand, He is more than eager to bring you to first stage than to see you week after week at the donkey stage or 4th stage. And may I please ask, why only Sunday? In this 1st stage and top stage alone, miracles are released and you will get healing for your sickness.
Address of God is His praises. You can be at a building but never close to God. But whenever you praised God wholeheartedly, the land you stand on is holy ground. Young lady from South Africa. I am very inspired by your read. I really appreciated reading your words this morning. I even geared myself up to go this morning broken rib and all and went, but then I had to turn around and come back home after a little while.
However I would like to make a couple points about extended breaks as opposed to missing one or two events. If you have clarified the situation and they are still judging harshly then there may indeed be a bigger problem than a lack of communication. So many problems in church are connected with a lack of civil communication. Now, if you have ever tried going to a gym, you may well know that missing as little as 2 or 3 workouts during those first few months can be the beginning of the end for that 6-pack hoping for.
I know that if I take a couple Sundays off, I generally have no trouble getting myself back to church. However if I take a 2 months off I not only find it far more tempting to take a 3rd, 4th or maybe even a 5th… or 6th; but I begin to rationalise away what I know to be in my best interest. There are no attendance roles or requirements of attendance to get into heaven. Church is about fellowship and community.
If all you get from church is an hour on a Sunday, then you may be doing it wrong. This is definitely a timely advice. I am an official lector-commentator servant of our Parochial Church for 4 years already. During my first few years, i always feel the holy spirit touching my drained heart and i always feel refueled because of the fact that I had this chance to serve Him.
Sometimes, I miss my scheduled service to our church because I have to work on a weekend, and when I fail to attend my scheduled services I am being questioned as if i have another boss in the church. I feel sad because I do not know what to prioritize. I like that you pointed out that attending a church will give you teachings that will convict and inspire you. This is because of the repetitive things I do every day such as the nature of my job and other things that I wish not to share.
I love Jesus so much and am Catholic. The Eucharist is not just a symbol for us, otherwise Jesus would have said to the other disciples who said His saying was too hard for them would have corrected them but no, instead He said unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood.
Just wanted to point that out to anyone interested in the Catholic view. Your blog has helped heal me as I have a newborn after 20 years since my first child Thank you for helping us moms relearn. For example something in me wanted to nap my baby as often as possible but people say schedule playtime tummytime etc….
God bless. A church member went through a divorce from her husband, leaving her with the kids. Never allow anyone to come between yourself and God. Seek God yourself, dont depend on a church pastor to seek God and give Him to you. Is God a cat to be caught in a trap box and handed over to you. I like how you said that people go to church to hear the Scriptures broken down and to learn how to apply them to their lives in order to follow Christ.
I think a lot of people believe that going to church is about making other people happy or about just trying to feel good about themselves. I appreciate what you said and agree that church is about giving something to God and trying to near ourselves closer to Christ. What if we began to show up even when it feels challenging, just so we could be there for others?
What if we cared less about getting, and more about giving? What if we considered how to spur one another on? Shoebox Collection Week is Here! Rachel Dawson What topic related to Christianity, faith, and the Bible is trending online and in social media today? Yes, there are extraordinary circumstances that keep the sheep from hearing the voice of the Shepherd on a Sunday morning through a called preacher. But ordinarily speaking, to neglect Christian fellowship and the means of grace through which God grants us communion with himself is a terrible sin.
And not only is it itself a sin, but it often leads to more sin. Scripture reflects the same high view of corporate worship that these pastors believed in. There were accountability and submission to qualified and ordained elders 1 Tim. To forsake this is to set aside what the apostles themselves delivered to the church as the normal structure God ordained for discipleship.
Being connected to a church through membership, under the oversight of elders, is something every Christian should long for; and church on Sunday is integral to our Christian growth. Illness keeps us closed in, or some other unexpected barrier to worship presents itself. Have we so lost sight of what is taking place in worship that entertainment has become more captivating?
That the deceitfulness of sin is no match for the modern Christian? I sometimes feel as though this is the case for many of us.
