This verse in somewhere in the Gospel (Matthew I think), and I got reminded by it as I was reading your post.

God bless. Keep listening to the Holy Spirit and follow His lead.

At this particular church, they kept wondering why only 20 or 30 people did everything out of a membership of 600+. They talked on and on about apathy. Finally, I came to understand why those other people refused to get involved or volunteer in any way. Also, new members came and went . . . they did not stick around. Again, I think it was a sign that something was very wrong there. Perhaps they were a lot smarter than me and figured it all out sooner. Kamsin: Yes, I know a lot of people like that, too.

Like maybe God is looking for more real and authentic ways of faith, and than sometimes that can only be acheived by leaving behind inauthetic situations. I'm sure God has great things in store for you as you try to seek Him in your life. I keep coming across people who seem to be being lead out of their church.

Sounds like you did the right thing. And the Jeremiah quote is written in calligraphy and framed in my hallway.

I admire your courage and honesty. What a powerful read! I too have struggled with the inconsistency of my faith and the organized religion within which I practice that faith.

It is not a rejection of spiritual growth or even of God. It is rather an examination of your own intensely personal spiritual health and well-being. No organized sect can possibly understand this kind of struggle.<br /><br />Congratulations on your epiphany and may it bring you peace and happiness.

However, I can sense your struggle to listen to your inner Spirit or conform to man's organized religious ideas. <br />I wish for you a new breath of life. <br />You seem to follow your convictions, or passions. However you choose to describe it, it is the meaning in your life, and it is important that you are attuned and responsive to that. <br />Ideas are powerful.... Wow, Janie,
This is intense. However, I can sense your struggle to listen to your inner Spirit or conform to man’s organized religious ideas.
I wish for you a new breath of life.
You seem to follow your convictions, or passions. However you choose to describe it, it is the meaning in your life, and it is important that you are attuned and responsive to that.
Ideas are powerful.…
