Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:1-7 Amen Brother and thank you for posting that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found one yet. Gary Amen brother, me too. As we live, move, and breath; we do so unto God. Colossians ch 1 v 16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: When the Spirit of truth has his child to speak the Word of truth in church and the high priest is offended by the Word; they throw you down the hill headlong.... In the meantime it might be good to find a church where you can worship God and connet with other Believers. As one other poster said in this thread... I heard a preacher say one time, "If you find a perfect church, don't join it cause then it won't be." Learning, growing, changing through God's Word and the Holy Spirit's guidance is the main thing. The only way to learn to dance is to get on the dance floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular I think having small groups during the week is helpful to connect with other Believers and grow in our walk with God (discipleship). I most enjoy worshiping God and hearing a good message that is Scripturally sound/challenges my walk with God or points to something in Scripture that helps me understand God's plan/love better. The most important aspect of a church service to me is being lead by God's Holy Spirit... Not to leave the same as when I entered the doors.

Church is a place of refuge, comfort, strength, love, and faith. Then....I might be mistaken. . Souldn't we be looking for these things to come from our Lord? Jesus is my refuge, my strength, my comfort, my peace, my love, my fortress, my rock. In him I have faith, in him I trust, in him I have hope, in him I have eternal life. Know ye not that the kingdom of God is within you? He is not in a chruch made of hands, Yes, that is scripture. Yes, if God is not the center of the church, it shows. No church or person is perfect. So expecting perfection is going to be met with a great deal of disappointment. So sought love, truth that is written in God's word, and people who would encourage my family as we try to grow in our walk of faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to learn to dance is to get on the dance floor. And here I sit with two left feet. Lol Brother... me too! Reminds me of the following song... Praise God for His freedom that sets us sinners free! Turning molehills into mountains, Making big deals out of small ones, Bearing gifts as if they're burdens' This is how it's been. Fear of coming out of my shell, Too many things I can't do too well, Afraid I'll try real hard and I'll fail - This is how it's been. Till the day You pounded on my heart's door, And You shouted joyfully, "You not a slave anymore!" You're free to dance- Forget about your two left feet And you're free to sing- Even joyful noise is music to Me And you're free to love, Cause I've given you My love, and it's made you free I have set you free My mind finds hard to believe That You became humanity and changed the course of history, Because You loved me so. And my heart cannot understand Why You'd accept me as I am, But You say You've always had a plan, And that's all I need to know. So when I am consumed by what the world will say, It's then You're singing to me, As you remove my chains… You're free to dance- Forget about your two left feet And you're free to sing- Even joyful noise is music to Me And you're free to love, Cause I've given you My love, and it's made you free I have set you free Free from worry, free from envy and denial Free to live, free to give, free to smile You're free to dance- Forget about your two left feet And you're free to sing- Even joyful noise is music to Me And you're free to love, Cause I've given you My love, and it's made you free I have set you free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
