So i have a question. I have found a new church that i like, and have been thinking about joining it. I took this class which was like 4 hrs long and it basically went over some basics of what the church believes in. But theres a problem. Im living in sin. Doesnt God say worship while living in sin is an abomination to Him? Should i even be going to church for that matter? the other problem is i dont have any plans to stop the sin because i cant. Its an addiction. Need some advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you find a congregation lead by an adulterer, same-sex-sinner, or false convert like yourself where you won't feel out of place and your seared conscience will not be troubled.

Because if they were geniuses,Musclemen, Poets than people couldn’t say “ God did this” they would just chalk it up to ‘natural talent’ God imbraces the least likely and if you are being called to join a church than follow that calling just like the apostles when Jesus said “ Follow me” Brother doubt is just a weapon the enemy uses to keep you from The Fathers Love Embrace him, pray to him, and get to know him by reading his word ”When you read the word that is God talking to you. When you pray that is you talking to him Combine the two and have a conversation? You have taken the first steps don’t let the enemy stop you in your tracks SHALOM❤️ Edited November 13, 2021 by MrBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give up ... keep seeking God to strengthen you and help you make the right decisions. If you fall, get back up, ask for forgiveness, dust yourself off and continue. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
