It's sunday.

[Shadowprophet]

For me, That means it's the Sabbath, Today is the day. I'm supposed to fellowship with others. I love God, He has blessed me. And even though things could be worse for me. God has lifted me up, through all the trials and tribulations I've been through. I've had a pretty blessed life.

I would just go to church for fellowship. But, My life is weird. I'm a private person that really respects my right to solitude, I know people aren't supposed to be like that. But I have my reasons. Have you ever moved to another place just to experience peace and quite only to have strangers stop by, Just to see who you are and be nosey just to find out what you are doing? When I first moved to my area, I was still unpacking boxes, I got raided by the police for being in my garage at 3 am, They were, You know, Just stopping by to see what I was doing. Sirens blaring. armed, No, I don't like people. I really don't, That is my cross to bear, But. I try. But, I don't trust people, And I don't see the reason for associating with them. Maybe that's one of my biggest issues. But. I do know Gods love. I know how it feels to love, I know how it feels to be loved. And I feel those feelings. So I come here to fellowship. Happy Sunday everyone.

I Know I'm not perfect, I never claimed to be. But, I am here, And I am trying.

i'm actually in between membership at a church and I took in a service today at a Shrine of the Black Madonna. seemed like a nice community, very friendly, but I wouldn't be able to be a member there in good conscience because of some doctrinal issues.

I would say that's part of my issue. I would love to make that claim, For me though. I've been to Baptist churches. Mormon churches. Pentecostal, Church of Christ, Nondenominational, as long as a group believes that Jesus was the Son of God and he paid the price for our sins. I'm good with those people.

You do not need a church to fellowship, this site or others like it, is still fellowshipping. Speaking to others about your questions, doubts, even in the act of discussing the Word of God will reveal to yourself by the power of the Holy Spirit many things. How much you know of God, how strong is your foundation in our beliefs, or even if you really believe something or just told to by some pastor. You do not experience the Holy Spirit by watching tv, or enjoying a beer during a cook out. You do so by doing God's Word, learning about God, even trying to prove your point of view backed with scripture.

Fellowship is not cuddle time, though comforting each other is never a bad thing, it is being a soldier of Christ and iron sharpening iron. The Word of God is your sword to destroy evil and lies, make that sword sharp through the fellowship like here on this site.

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

I like that. That's exactly what I need. I need the fellowship of God, I can't know if my views and opinions are accurate or even correct without that fellowship. I'm glad you also view online as fellowshipping with others. some people don't seem to, I've had people suggest I can't be a person that doesn't like being around people and still be a proper Christian. It's difficult. We can't please everyone, But we are supposed to edify others. I'm learning more as time goes by though.
