Leavin Church
I have been contemplating this for a while now, might as well do it. I had been attending the Sunday evening service at the fastest growing church in San Diego for the last year. It's a great church considering is size and the challenges associated with managing size. What is ironic is that my amigo asked me only last month to try to get another person to go to church with me. What really needed to happen was for someone else to get ME to go to church. What is that in scripture about blind guides??
Church is an outward reflection of what is inward. What do you do when church is no longer a reflection of what in inward? What do you do when you can't sing the songs and mean them at the same time? What do you do when the message seems to be at the level of gradeschool Christianity? What do you do when you realize that all you want is to be back in gradeschool?
Denial of issues is no way to resolve them.

I've felt that way before.
I also have found church to be disappointing at times. It has led me to seek God more. Have you ever read anything by A.W. Tozer?
The Attributes of God and The Pursuit of God helped me understand who God is. Anyway, because I get more out of my prayer times and Bible reading, I am able to put up with the imperfections I see in the church.
