And I don't like it. Have you guys ever noticed how in some churches people don't really do anything anymore other than show up for church and class and then that's it? That's like 90%+ of the churches right now.
I'm getting tired of this. I don't feel anything anymore when visiting church, and people just disappoint in the purposeful sheepishness of their ways. This has directly affected my behavior, as I have begun to do the same things (such as going with the flow instead of being outspoken or asking difficult questions), and it is rather frustrating. On top of this there is little to no interaction with people outside the church anymore. Why is it that people who claim to be a part of a fellowship don't really keep in contact, hang out, or do anything together outside of church? The church has taken a sterile and 'hands-off' approach, which is mildly disturbing.
There needs to be a fine balance between action and prayer.
It's like the church itself is a zombie bumbling around with little direction other than the steering of the pastor and elders that act as the brain.
You will hear little to no talk about the gays, human rights, politics, laws, the knowledge of the bible, or even Apologetics for that matter…
I haven't had a decent conversation with someone about any of these topics without somehow ruining the mood due to its connotations. It's almost as if people are afraid to speak their minds… And rarely, if ever, have a conversation involving these things that we should be extremely concerned about for the church, since it has already dramatically impacted and damaged many denominations, and ruined countless believers lives.
Do u anons have a community where you feel connected? Even having any resemblance of a good discussion is far fetched even online anymore.
