I can't seem to control it and I feel like I've drifted a million miles away from God. I decided that I needed to find a place of worship and seek a power greater than myself.

I'm not sure where to go from here, so I think I'll drive to the mountains and spend some time in prayer. Final Word: Church leaders, get your act together, please. Find your power again (ref. Book of Acts). Thanks. . [/quote] I think a lot of us are trying to find someplace. I envy the people that seem so certain of their faith. Who here is happy with their Church? [/quote] I'm good with my faith. However, the western, modern, Christian Church is worthless and weak. I shouldn't be surprised... just look at the seven churches listed in the first three chapters of Revelation. But, there is one... one I want to find... the Church of Philadelphia. Not sure where it exists? . [/quote] Lets not forget what the Western Church has done to spread His word: J.Vernon McGee and his Thru The Bible radio show has translated the entire Gospel to over 100 languages When the hippies were done being lost, Chuck Smith brought many of the lost to Jesus through Calvary Chapel churches Christians in the USA still lead the world in tithing, donations, and missionary work. [/quote] No love. Clanging symbols, sounding gongs... . [/quote] Many were saved, including myself [/quote] I get it. My head is in a bad place right now. You have to admit, the western church looks nothing like the book of Acts. There are commuter churches here. Once a week, we drive to a building, sing three songs, write a check, take some notes and say "hi" on the way out. There is no community or fellowship. It doesn't hurt if you are surrounded by family. Some of us are alone and we hate it. . [/quote] I would go to any Eastern Orhtodox Church at present but they limit capacity, and are mainly limiting it to the elderly it seems. In the case of the ROCOR I would like to go to, there is a 'Karen' across the street (Jwwish lawyer busybody lady) who keeps notes on the attendance numbers and will call the VPD if there is one person over the officially allowed number. At least when this is over, everyone knows who she is and where she lives. Candlelit prayer vigil on her sidewalk/boulevard seems apropos. [/quote] An exorcism from her sidewalk might be fun. .
