Sure ... and if you don't like that church, try another ... if you don't find one that suits you, look into religions that aren't in your local area. If you never find a religion that suits you ... that's okay, too.
that's up to you,if you feel like you need to ,why not
I would go! It most certainly won't hurt you to go.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. It may not be the right fit for you. Try a different church, and another and another. Yes, that means you are church shopping.
Before you decide, maybe read a book called Letters From the Earth by Mark Twain.
It's a great book, and it may give you some insight.
If you feel you have a hole in your life that needs filling, and you can't do it on your own, then church makes more sense then drugs or alcohol.
No.. Church is one big lie..
And you're being smart alecky when you're saying "anywhere? I go plenty of places", as if you didn't know what I meant... Get over it... We have enough conflict on here with the sarcasm, don't you agree?
Yes. Being with the spiritual brothers who love you so much and poreach the word of God as it is, not adding beliefs to it and not allowing sin, yet loving the sinners, being with your spiritual brothers will help you. I just described them so you know if a church is trully christian or just religious and/or false christian.
I think u should go!!! but if this church let u live in their back yard for 5 yrs. and have not welcomed u in, asked u if u needed any help,tryed to assist you in any way form or fashion then thats not the church u should go to!!! after all u might have helped them in any way u r their security alarm!! yes! u should go but u should find one that suites u best and points u in the right direction!!!
Yes, it's good to go to church. It helps keep you in check. Devotions are good to keep you in check too. Just make sure the church is preaching the truth. Make sure the church's teachings are supported by the Bible.
You asked him. This is your answer. GO!!!!! He is telling you clearly. Do not hesitate do not question just listen and go.
YES, please go to church! But check which one you prefer. When you go into the one right next to you, are you greeted? Do you feel the love there? Is the preacher talking about "how" to walk as a Christian, or hell-fire and brimstone? (first is better) or is he talking about love? or loving each other? Those are all good. Do you feel moderately comfortable? If so, then it's probably a good church for you, as long as it's Christian. You'll feel more and more comfortable the more you go and meet people. THIS is one of the ways you draw close to God. Plus build a support group, and prayer backup. Excellent plan!
If you do NOT feel any of that, check out a different church. But remember, God has one for you that'll fit just perfect for you. Remember that all churches are not perfect, because all people aren't perfect, but if you can feel the love of Christ there, and they talk about walking with God, then it's good. Keep us posted!
Yes! I believe God is urging you to go. Try the one in your backyard first. I like the advice Mar sch gave you. Also, I would purchase a Life Application Bible and read the book of John first. Good luck! I'm praying for you!
Be prepared for extreme boredom. Going to church and believing in god
just because it appeals to your emotions is not a good reason and it doesn't make christianity anymore vailid.
Yes, forsake not your gathering together; where two or more are gathered Jesus said He was there in the midst.
Personally, I prefer the position of "no where to go but up." Makes me feel like I cannot fail. Hitting bottom sux, but once there we have nothing to lose but rest. I wouldn't go, but then again I'm atheist so why would I go to a church?
Try reading the Bible daily first, so you can know and be familiar with some of the Bible's basic standards. As many others have said, make sure you pray as well. Never underestimate the power of prayer. 1 John 5:14 tells us that "whatever is according to His will, He hears us." Your desire seems to be according to God's will. So pray incessantly about it. (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Then try visiting some churches in your area. Are those churches adhering by the Bible's standards? Or are they picking and choosing what they want to follow? After deep prayer and thought on it, you will be able to make a decision. Remember also the words of Jesus Christ: "Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it." (Matthew 7;13,14)
Hope I could help! =)
Well, it wont hurt you. Give it a go. I suggest researching churches and trying different ones until you find one you are comfortable with. In the meantime it wont hurt to visit the church you live behind. I hope its a good one. But if not try others. I suggest again - try to find a good contemporary and/or non-denominational church that doesnt have a strict dress code and isnt too uptight about unimportant things. Unless you want all that fancy dress. Some folks like that.
Well it depends on what kind of church it is. Look for these things:
That the Bible is recognized as the infallible Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).
That God is a Trinity-Father, Son and Holy Spirit (John 14:26; Matthew 28:18-19).
That salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:8-9).
That spiritual maturity develops as one dedicates himself to personal prayer, the reading and study of the Word of God, and obedience to what is learned (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Colossians 2:6-7).
The decision you make about your church affiliation is a crucial one! May God lead you to find just that church which is best suited to your personality and needs. This identity will provide much of what is needed for living a full and satisfying Christian life.
Yes! The end is near my friend.
I'm atheist, so I wouldn't. But it's your choice if you want to be religious or not, and it's better than drinking yourself into oblivion. Alcohol isn't the answer...... unless you're playing hangman and that's the word they choose, then it's technically the answer.
Are you looking for answers to specific questions? Religious meetings approved by God should instruct people “in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion.” (2 Peter 3:11) They should help those present to become mature Christians, who can “distinguish both right and wrong.”—Hebrews 5:14.
i use to ask the same question until one day i just went it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be it was actually kinda fun the people were very welcoming.
