Bible Question (short): What should I do? |
Question (full): Thank those who answered my question(do I need to leave the church?). Yes, I am a new Christian. Yes, the minister is married and has children.She has attended the church for about 20 years. She has been a minister about 5 years. She has a very good reputation among her followers. Yes, I talked with her and her followers. After that, I am excluded. They think I am not on their side. If I want to be part of them, I have to be like them. Yes, I have prayed for this for months. But I am not sure the message I got is really from God. The message is " Wait". Recently, I find I am acting like them.I started to mark people, forget about my promises,talk about gossips and spread rumors. I am shocked! I have become someone I don't like! That's why I ask this question here. After I read the answers, I have another question. I know the fellowship is vital. But I am afraid the similar situation will happen again.What should I do? I still want to know more about God. I still want to worship Him. What should I do? |
