Going to church every Sunday

[ayin jade]

I went to a church immediately after getting saved. Im not a morning person so to me going on sunday morning is blah. But I go to an evening church and I love going. I cant wait to go again. To worship. To be with my church family. And we are family there. Caring for one another. Joining together to worship. It is a wonderful place for me.

I immediately started seaking to go to church . It was "promotion sunday" in September when I was in the 7th grade. My mother's church was where I had attended Sunday School till the beginning of the 4th grade, but I was agnostic till the 7th grade. The pastor was not good, not inspired by th Holy Spirit . Our Sunday school was rowdy and uncontrolled and I didn't get much out of it, so I received permission to attend another church across the street. The Holy Spirit had convicted me to repent and put a hunger in me to read the Bible and to attend church. I was not baptized for a couple of years, though.

I feel revitalized after attending church and usually attend 2 or more services a week, but it is not a legalistic thing. If I am ill or unable to attend for any time I feel dry and empty. I can get our pastors sermons on the net and on utube but it is not the same as being in the company of believers worshipping. There is life and strength there and I hunger for it. We don't even have to visit with others; just being among other believers to worship in Spirit and in Truth is a real blessing.

A question for everyone, how long did it take for you to join a church after you were saved.

I happened to show up right after, that was partly due to other circumstances. I have since been looking at various churches but the aim is an every week sort of deal, and when a solid one is found maybe more.

What does the Lutheran Church believe in, of who Jesus Christ is. You'll have to forgive me. I'm not too knowledgeable on denominations.

This seems accurate right? What faults did you find in their church? (Confession, which teaches that all men are born in sin, and therefore need to be justified through faith in Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Along with faith in Christ, baptism is “necessary for salvation” and therefore “children should be baptized, for being offered to God through baptism they are received into his grace” (Art. IX).)

A question for everyone, how long did it take for you to join a church after you were saved.

This is kind of a hard question for me. I accepted Christ when I was 13 years old. About a year later I felt a I guess you would call it a calling to join the church. And so I did so.  When I joined I thought it was for life. It wasn't until I got married and moved out of state that I found out else wise. After moving out of state I of cores could not attend church regularly. But every time I went back to visit my home town, if I was there on a Sunday I would attend church there. About a year after I was married I got a form letter in the mail from my old hometown church. The letter said that since I was not attending regularly that they were considering canceling  my membership. They did give me the choice of letting them know if I wanted to keep being a member or should they cancel me. I was very upset! I mean I was in tears upset. Like I said I thought is was for life. Since there was no way I would be able to attend regular, me living out of state and all, I told them to cancel my membership. I was very good about it and wrote them a heartfelt letter about how I am unable to attend due to living out of state. Then they thank them for teaching me about Christ all those years I grew up there. Since then I have never felt the calling to join another church. I attend regularly, but I have never felt the need to officially join. If and when God ever moves me to do so I will consider it then. But until that time I am happy with just being a regular church goer.
