Have you ever felt frustrated with the Christian world today? Obviously the church today is not what God intended and in America, the church has become a big corporation more than anything.
On the other hand, no matter what church or Christian group you belong to, it seems we just can’t accept each other as we are. We always have groups that say one thing and then along comes someone else who says something completely different. Then one group gets mad and argues their point and it just seems fruitless to continue debating one another. One groups says this is the way to do it, the other says no, your way is wrong but our way is the way to do it.
I’m at a point where I’m pretty well frustrated with Christianity as a whole and just ready to say forget it. God loves me. There is nothing I have to do or stop doing to receive God’s love. I am saved through faith in Jesus Christ and I have the Holy Spirit living within me. I don’t have to listen to this group or that group, this speaker or that preacher. God can guide me in the way He wants me to go and I no longer have to worry about my reputation or what others think. Does anyone else feel this way too?
I really think we just need to accept God’s love for us the way we are, follow Him, be willing to do what He wants us to do, and listen to the guiding of the Holy Spirit within us. We no longer have to be tossed to and fro by listening to all the different voices in Christianity today. We just need to listen and trust God and enjoy the fellowship we have with Him through Christ.

Isn’t that the truth. Good words. Many who call themselves christian are more concerned with the book rather than the Father. Your words are so true. Thanks for commenting.

Because we (encouraged by the paid professional clergy certainly) have made a veritable idol out of the book called the Bible, people will continue to be confused, deceived, divided and defensive. It is not Jesus we defend, it is our view of the bible, It is not Jesus that divides us, it is this book. It is not Jesus who is confusing, it is all of the varied interpretations of what this book means. The fact is, the Bible may indeed be inspired or God-Breathed, but I am sorry, after 30 years of studying and parsing it, it is still a puzzle to me. And I refuse to give it a higher place in my heart and spirit, than God Himself. I will put what He speaks to me over what is written any day.

Yes, there is enough arguing and fighting going on in the world, we should be loving and accepting even when we disagree on things. Thanks for the good comment.

So with you on this! Can we stop all the arguing and posing and just run our own race in a way that brings glory to God!? Let’s extend grace to each other and trust in a God who is big enough to cope with the imperfect understandings we all have.
