The old has gone and Christ has made all things new (II Cor. 5:17). You are a new person! Not only should you NOT isolate yourself but you NEED to be in the company of fellow believers. Read Hebrews 10:19-25. This is a beautiful passage about our position in Christ, our confidence before HIM and our need for one another. <br /><br />As far as "deserving" the company of others... Apart from Christ, none of us deserves anything but eternal damnation in hell. We are all in the same boat. I don't care what people, even Christians, you are referring to, none of them have any basis for looking down on you. Get in a local church that teaches the Bible. Avoid a church that teaches everything will always be "ok" because God wants us to be healthy, wealthy, and prosperous. That is not what scripture teaches. If a church teaches that we have to do any work to earn God's favor, they are in error (Eph. 2:1-10). Avoid such a church. Our salvation is in Christ and in him alone. Because of his great love for us, our heart's desire will be to serve him through good works. But, these works do not save us or earn God's love. <br /><br />Look for a church that accepts you and that wants to help you grow in the Lord. <br /><br />Hope this helps.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604241958293057524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057285976309574963.post-35493450548742505782010-06-03T02:47:25.521-06:002010-06-03T02:47:25.521-06:00If I have made mistakes in the past, does that mea...If I have made mistakes in the past, does that mean I deserve to be alone the rest of my life? I have changed and asked God's forgiveness (and my family's), but I isolate myself from people because I feel I don't deserve their company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057285976309574963.post-1913333278640681442009-03-30T18:44:00.000-06:002009-03-30T18:44:00.000-06:00Dear Anonymous - if you happen to come back and lo...Dear Anonymous - if you happen to come back and look at this response... please read the post made after this one about fact and feeling. Also, I would strongly encourage you to go to a Bible teaching/preaching church. Talk to someone there and make yourself attend and learn. Get to know some of the men in the church in a way that you can be accountable. The website for my church is on this blog. Go to it and email the pastor (my husband). I'm sure he would be willing to help you locate a church in your area.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604241958293057524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057285976309574963.post-35564289914121158882009-03-29T02:46:00.000-06:002009-03-29T02:46:00.000-06:00I awoke this morning at about 4:30 am.I too am str...I awoke this morning at about 4:30 am.<BR/><BR/>I too am struggling with unforgiveness of myself. Well maybe not unforgiveness of myself but rather an inability to come to terms with the seeming crushing unsustainable weight of the consequences of my sin.<BR/><BR/>I am in a very dark place.<BR/><BR/>I am completely removed from my wife and six children. I have been sent away from my church. It hurts so much that I can barely type these words. My life seems completely over and at times, even now I wish it were. Only though if I could go to heaven not hell for I do know that hell would be even worse than this earthly fire I am in. At least there is hope of finding hope here. Oh the wrenching pain of having let down my Lord , my family and the body of Christ. Oh the wrenching anguish. Oh save me from myselfinwardly my God and create a new spirit within me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057285976309574963.post-45870244828546439292007-07-30T11:35:00.000-06:002007-07-30T11:35:00.000-06:00What if what you know and what you feel are confli...What if what you know and what you feel are conflicting??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
