Wow- you have no idea how much I needed this! My family and I are in what I call a “Crisis of Faith”, not because of doubting Him, but because we have stopped going to our church because of the way our daughter was treated (long story in and of itself). We are lost in that we do not have a church home and I really want one. However, for various reasons we have yet to visit other churches in our area. I was just speaking to God about my hurt in not having a church home when I clicked on FR and here your post is!! Thank you!!!!
I’ve had to switch churches for various reasons due to people’s offenses. We Just made sure to put it across to the kids that mean people are everywhere - and when they got older- that it was especially so- as the enemy will do anything to keep us out of Church and away from God. It’s target is primarily young people in formation.
