[QUOTE="losthope, post: 57996820, member: 94863"] To s.s. You wrote this: [I]Losthope, I think i know how you feel. Before I was saved, in my teens, I "tried" many times to get saved, but I couldn't. I had the same lack of conviction, the ambivalence towards needing a Saviour at all. What I did then, after a couple of years of that, was pray for a "kick". I knew it would take something huge to make me commit - and I got what I asked for - something I wont go into here as it was very non-conventional, but God got me and has had me ever since. Just keep praying that the Spirit will work on you, and be open to it.

I am glad that your prayers were answered and you received something to help you to commit. In a sense I am also seeking something that will enable me to commit.

There are some good evangelical churches in my area. I have been to several, but as a non-Christian I always feel out of place there. For example, I cannot join in worship singing because the words are not true for me. Churches are for believers. I have also spoken to local Christians and ministers in the churches, but they do not know how to help me.
