1 | i have offended | Not Specified | valspapa | 198598 | ||
it seems i have offended some by yearning to be in a church with broader goals and more concern for serving the lord in a harmonious, and grander fashion than the one i just left. forgive me for wanting to honor my lord by preparing my song rather than to just walk to the alter and sound off with shreiking out of tone words that are sometime forgotten due to lack of practice. it is obvious to me that this church has many members who leave there desire to please the lord behind when they walk out of it's doors. I dont feel the spirit while in this church. not to mention the fact that the devil himself on several occasions has made it to the pulpit, i have been saved for only 13 months but i do know that scorning and ridiculing from the alter is not god like.to stand at the alter and boast of how you gave 20.00 to a man for giving you a jump start is not godly.paying one for servives rendered does not make one holy.i pray for each person i ever met through this church and if it is enough for there salvation. then god bless them.i myself yearn for more than this bulish paster can give. i am hungry and thirsty for words he cant give | ||||||

3 | how do i convince my wife to follow me | Not Specified | valspapa | 198582 | ||
i was saved 13 months ago and have been attending the church that my wife was membered at.the pastor is my wifes brother-in-law.the problem is that it is not growing and is somewhat -rednecked- it is really countryfied with bibbed overall mentality.everyone there is lacking in education [that is not the reason for my concerns]but it adds to the delima.the pastor is really bullish and after ten years of service,last sundays attendance was 12 including the pastor and his wife.the singing is really lousy with people forgetting the words,some who sing each week behind the alter sing the same songs each week with the words or hymnal still mess up constantly,i feel that they could at least practice and get it right,[after all, this is our lord we sing about and we are in his house]GET IT RIGHT.i have convinced my wife we need to move on to somewhere more godly. but her sister has already started in on her with the remark that god will beat me up for leaving,i cant say that they are lacking in the lord,for it is not my desire to knock anyone down.there is a need for sure to teach everyone,but my wife and i are not growing,if i must go on without my wife,so be it but,i fear that as i learn more and she stays behind,that it will cause more problems between us,i want for her as much as i want for myself,,please advise | ||||||
