Bible Note: Dear Amanda, Here's another Edwards quote, "There never will, in this world, be an entire purity, either in particular saints, in a perfect freedom from mixtures of corruption; or in the church of God, without any mixture of hypocrites with saints, and counterfeit religion, and false appearances of grace with true religion, and real holiness." The church is one of the gifts of God so that we might be conformed to the image of Christ. I'd encourage you to not neglect any of the gifts of God. Remember, the disatisfaction you are "feeling" could also be hiding the sin of pride or rebellion. We can offer clear Scripture directives that participation and submission to the local church are not optional matters for the real believer. God bless you.
