I don’t know about you, but if you’re thinking of leaving your home church or the Church entirely, or have a friend who is, it’s not by chance that you’re reading this.
If you’re disillusioned and hurting, know that you’re not alone.
Disappointment with the Church, I dare say, is a normal part of our Christian walk, and an opportunity to mature or weaken our faith. You can choose to dig in, press in, or push it away.
True, there are other ways of finding community, discipling others, doing everything the early Church did without conforming to an Institution.
And for a season that might be okay.
But in your quietest moments with God, have you brought your past hurts to Him? Have you asked Him for help?
Would you ask Him for His will, whether it’s to stay where you are, or to move to a different community?
This week, I feel led to share a series on dealing with hurts from the Church— I hope they will bless you.
