I started feeling what other people did. So the sin under the surface of the good intentions would take hold of me from everyone.Being part of a church has been really hard for me!!! Has anyone given up on church while still holding on to faith in Christ? What made you give up or not give up?
I couldn't really find a way around it, getting prayer didn't help, and quite often people would act like what I was experiencing didn't exist.
I'd say I haven't given up, but am not able to manage spiritually what I began to experience. This is important to identify since I cannot rely on others to accommodate me regarding this, it's simply not realistic. So for now, I remain in isolation until this liability becomes a benefit to all.
I doubt anything that extreme happens to most people so, there's not really a reason to not attend a church since there's congregations accommodating most personality types.
Holding onto Christ isn't that hard, since He doesn't let you go. Just giving up association of God with said church activity leaves little to look at if too much of your time at a community was consumed by activities. However, over time the mind seeks replacement activities to fill in the gap, when this happens seek to strengthen your trust in God so you can continually receive the Holy Spirit, this is basic.
