The Right Church

I am still in search of the right church for myself. I am not sure what I should be looking for in a good church. Do I look for one that I am comfortable in? Do I look for one that is accepts me right away? Do I go to one that is big and flashy? Do I go to one that is smaller and more personal to its people?

So many questions and sadly I don’t know have an answer for them. Why does choosing a church have to be so complicated?

Too Easy, In My Opinion

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

So if I live my life according to this, God will forgive me for all my past wrongs. It just seems to simple to me, I have really made a big mess of my past and this seems like too easy of a fix. How can it be this simple?

Trying To Find God

I am trying to find my place with God, and I am not really sure where to start. I read the bible on a daily basis and I pray alot, but it feels like I am getting it all wrong. I have a lot of friends that are very religious and when I look at them I feel like I am never going to reach the level of faith they are at.

I constantly wonder if I am praying incorrectly, if I have screwed my life up so badly in the past that makes God angry with me? I have had a less than perfect past and I am still fixing the mistakes I made back then today. I guess once I fix all my mistakes, then maybe God will listen and love me more.
