CHURCH

[BOMBSAC]

do any of you all go?
for those of you in sacramento, do you know of any "good" ones
i feel so stressed out right now :dead: .......when i was comming back from picking up a pizza i believe god sent me a message, as wierd as it may sound, something or someone made me think the thought that i need to go to church....to the house of god.....to ask him to help me make some changes in my life, and im my daughters lives, i want to take them with me.....im 26 and in my second year of school and have 2 too go, ive always had a "good" head on my shoulders and have know right from wrong, i dont drink, smoke or due drugs although ive done all three in the past, mostly weed but i quit when i got pregnant with my 2nd daughter who is now 16 months old................i am a super "smart ass" and always have something to say back and i can see it starting to cause stress between my husband and i, we do not "fight" at all or argue much but i can see it possibly happening in the near future if i dont change....he will get tired of it, he is not like that, but im rubbing off on him and hes starting to do it too, my 10 year old daughter is a smart ass to and it drives me crazy, my husband more but i dont blame her, i blame myself cus i act the same way........i say a million cus words per day, i have always been this way for as long as i remember..........i dont know but it is not something that i can stop on my own, i feel that i need to ask god for help and go to church, although i do not believe that god is the cause of everything and i dont claim to be a part of any religion, i dont know about religions but i was baptized catholic by my parents and have not baptized my children and will not until I know its significance........I do believe in god, and i will probably look for a christian church....i went to the salvation army church on broadway about 6 yrs ago a few times with my recovering boyfriend and i liked it there alot.....i tend to feel really sad and want to cry when i go to or think about church, why is that?.............

My cousin has a church in Sac, and although I disagree with 99.2& of the churches on the face of the Earth, I WOULD attend his. I'll rush you all the contact info you need. Also, his church has a good womens ministry and a great sunday school for kids. As for you feeling sad when you think about church...well...that is between you and God. Maybe it could be because you are under attack right now, maybe it could be God calling you.

At everyone else who may read this, regardless of your religious/spirtual views, faith or lack of, please be respectful to this persons request and current situation. Consider the fact that this person is going through troublesome times and is currently striving to make attempts at getting their life in order.

what do you mean by "under attack"

yes im interested to know about your cousins church...as long as its not victory outreach, nothing against that church, i see that alot of younger kids go there and i want to be around adults..........i think i will go to the salvation army church this evening..

I grew up in the church, then I stoped going for a long time, then I had a "calling" to go back so I went back. It was a good experience for the most part, I dont go to church now, however I would never tell anyone NOT to go to church. Do what you feel is right.

i have had precognitions within my life about alot of different things...nothing ive made a big deal about, never really told anyone about it because theyd think i was crazy obviously, but its always been an inside thing with me that i could sense energy...

anyways one day i was at church and i could physically feel the devil within the church room. not like negative spirits within the church, like the church was built on evil spirits..like the devil owned the church. its a hard feeling to describe but i was overwhelmed and it freaked me the fuck out, walked out of church immediately and i never went again.

plus, i question "holy ghosts" and shit like that. all that is, is exorcism.
i dont wanna be around shit like that.

ive always been goin to church since i was young, just never knew why, always hated it, but i got hella involved in youth group, and i eventually fell out of it again..but im slowly gettin back into it, my life was ...it wasnt goin anywhere for awhile..i was just breathing...but now that im back into the church scene, i feel more alive.

 

[BOMBSAC]

but now that im back into the church scene, i feel more alive.

the times i have been to church, i felt different afterwards too...better.. about myself and my life..everything..like some kinda euphoria or sumthin..like a true natural high...i dunno

I never really had any reason to "believe" there was more out there than just us and our life so I never liked going to church, I just always wanted a solid answer or something. I accidently came across these videos, and it really does make me wounder and think about stuff. I agree with what Bombsac said above. Here's those videos, I think it gives the best argument that there is a God. He talks a lot about evolution vs. creation, which was always one my biggest questions to if there was a God. Then I read the Bible alittle more and stuff, and it's all relative to life today, and really is just about being a good person and being happy, and the way to do it. It's not like I do this daily, I should, because you do feel better, like what bombsac was saying about church, you even unintentionally feel better after going to church. But I also understand, there's no saying "this is what's right for you too," because I used to hear it and blow it off, but I started looking for something to turn to.

welll


IF you are being attacked..
get used to it...if you start going to church.

according to the Bible, Satan and his crew attack you much more when you are Trying to do right.

so..i guess what im trying to say is..

you will probly make it harder on yourself than easier..

5000

It probably is hard to do right and the right thing. But if you continue doing it everyday and continue and continue, then eventually it will be such a habit, it will become more natural.

The Bible does say you will be attacked for your beliefs, that probably won't change. But it would become easier to not do wrong if you continually don't do it.
