So even if the traditional "church" does not do what you believe it should, there are many, many alternatives. I can't guarantee that all of them are "better", but since they are small, one person could definitely effect a change, and if one becomes to stubborn, another would be available.

I am willing to be one of the small groups but I am not succeeding.

I am always willing to cooprate with other faithful ones. I will not be one of the playing churches and Christians, though.

In the mean time, my family is my church. I have been reaching out to people without any group or organized churches. I am not discouraged because of this condition, after all, the Bible says there will be all kind of spiritual desasters. This is the end times. Without wholehearted committment, we will not survive this tribulation. It will get worse and worse as time goes on. Whole committment for the Lord is the only way!!!!

Church. You mean the place where ones such as myself are ridiculed and looked upon with a deceitful eye? No thanks.

Shalom

I am talking about true church, not playing churches.

I'd love your opinion on any of these subjects...

Having a Christian Mother and Father is very important only if they both practice what they claim to be. I had parents who did not do so and if you think this wasn't known at an early age you are wrong. Because of my youth I lost belief in GOD and it was not until meeting my wife and her parents that I began to see what Religion is truly about. Although many years later, I did hear my calling and this is why my name here is so.

Just a thought here. If you would really like to present the Word of GOD and take Religion to an area that is only now learning about GOD, PLEASE contact the "Four Corners Indian Reservation" here in the US. Their land is literally located right here at home and they cover Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. We do not need to go to some foreign country to teach the word, they are hungry for it right here.

I AM SORRY, something went wrong. This was not posted for your question. I have no idea what happened!
