I have never been to church. My parents were forced as children and they didn't like it so they never forced church on me or my sibilings. I've always wanted to go but never had the time or really know what church to go to. I don't think you are a bad person if you don't go to church. It's a busy world now a days.

even devoted christians can't be that religious enough in going to church on sundays for some reasons. you have to remember, gwapa that God will not judge us according to our actions only. God gives to those who asks only if its worth. have you asked yourself if the things you ask is what you really want? God may not provide us with the material things we need but, he will comfort us in times of sorrow, shelter us from the storm and provide the food we need. the birds in the sky does not sow neither do they reap but the Father feed them.are we not better than the birds?- Matthew 6:26. keep an effort to do your responsibility as a believer. God is all mercy. God is love. He will take you back no matter what the causes are. all you need to do is ask.

honestly, I don't go to church every sunday because we can't afford it now. I used to a lot when i was younger because it was easier for my family to afford the membership. Now that my brother and I go to college. My parents unfortuntely have to sacrafice church in order to pay for my brother and to go to college. When I graduate and if i have enough money then I will probably go to college.

I understand why you feel that way. Understanding who God is and how to please Him and knowing what displeases him molds us to a better person. He is the personification of Love but is not tolerant as shown by His quality or personality Justice. If you do not go to church for a reason, I encourage you to pray to Him to direct you on how to spend the life He has given to avail of the paradise He has in store for righteous people. We do have to ask forgiveness evertime because we're imperfect- we've inherited that from our first parents Adam and Eve. But for sins repeatedly committed, God is not someone to be mocked. God knows our sincerity when we ask for forgiveness for the shortcomings we commit. Sincerity could be shown in our lifestyle and actions. God said He can forgive us though our sins are as dark as scarlet and would wash it as white as snow but we do need to change our course if we ask for His approval. We only have but one life so I strongly encourage you to get closer to Him in prayer and ask Him to attain REAL happiness. All this world offers are temporary ones. Will you trade a temporary happiness today to a permanent one? Add me as your friend.. :)

Yes, I do go to church! :) Are God is a forgiving God? He even sent His son Jesus Christ to save us from sins. Why are you afraid to go to church? Why are you afraid that He will fail you? *Hugz* You are not bad, Gwapako_28. God is patiently waiting for you to turn to Him. Have that faith. :) God bless! *mwaaah*
