You are probably right about that. Actually, you are right about that. I ended up getting defeated because I didn't go to church. I back down at the last minute out of fear.

If it was a 'dead' church (I did not see any post about what one it was, and don't need to) , perhaps Yahuweh (God) and Jesus (the Shepherd) saved you from the wolves and from the deception there ?

What would Jesus do? If we are the church and we are to treat people the way Jesus would treat them. HOW would Jesus treat you if He were there at the church? What would He say to you and how would He encourage you?

Very good questions and very good point. Thank you very much and God bless

Above all else remember our Lord accepts us, that's what matters most.
I do pray you will feel at peace when you attend church and that you are welcomed.
God bless you.

Thank you very much and God bless you too

Jesse not to worry too much about being accepted by others as Jesus is the best friend you shall ever have. You suffer from anxiety along with a few other things . Well just take one Sunday at a time. Reading from Holy scripture is always a comforting way to start a new day. I hope your Sunday does go well.

Thank you very much. And that is great advice, except I wished I had read that before Sunday because I ended up not going at the last minute because I was afraid. When I sick of showing up at Church my heart beat really fast and I get so much anxiety.

Thank you very much. God bless you too. I didn't end up going to church out of fear. I back down at the last minute. But I am going to try next Sunday.

I pray for a church where you will receive a warm Christian welcome and an outpouring of God's love. A place where you feel you can totally be yourself and not have to fit into anothers mould to be accepted.
I pray that your fellowship will be blessed and that you will deepen in your relationship with Christ.

Thank you very much and God bless

You could be right. I'm not spiritual enough to know who are wolves and who is not. But I want to be able to discern.

Think about why you are going.

You are not going because of the congregation. No. You are going because of Jesus.

Try and push everything else out of your mind. Forget about who else is there. Concentrate on Jesus my friend.

May God bless you and give you strength and peace of mind.

I did not go because I was a coward. I was afraid to tell you. That is why it took me a long time to answer your question.

I actually am afraid to go to church.

I also feel like I lied, but I was planning on going. I made plans to go. But I am scared. I back down at the last minute.

Thank you very much for asking. God bless

Go next Sunday. I remember you went back on Easter and it was probably a lot more crowded. Call the pastor or someone in the ministry team to see if they can make accommodations.

You can PM me and I can point you to online services.

Father, help people to know that church is not to be a place where one is isolationistic. It is an assembly to be together, not just to be together to keep to yourself. We are a body, as a church, and the individual members are no more to be separate from one another in this spiritual body, than they are in our physical body. Yes, some
Christians can rub us the wrong way, so we need to have our spiritual armor on, even among family and friends. Lord, may we learn how we are to interact with one another, encourage, exhort, and even rebuke if necessary, Titus 2:15.

Jesse not to worry. It’s a new wk. And everyday is a new beginning with the Lord. Just rest in his love for that we do always have. As for the rest: Everthing in God’s time.

Thank you very much. That was supposed to say when I think about showing up to church. That was a typo. Thank you very much for your encouragement and God bless you.

Intro, it's ok. I get scared, sometimes, too. Go next week. Get there early, find a seat before many people arrive, and focus on God. Leave quietly at the end, and travel home at your own pace. There's nothing wrong with that.
