We're all suffering from it... I am who I want/choose/like/feel like I want to be. I will do whatever I want with MY life, MY time, My own space, My blog... I will run at my own pace, I will believe whatever I want on MY own terms, I will take in comments and criticism when I want to, as I want it to be. If it ain't nice to hear, I have all the right to choose not to take it in. [Minishorts, I'm just trying to bring out a point that many of us tend to overlook. And the Church is suffering from this silent, but deadly 'virus'. *And let me not be a hypocritical jughead for I am battling the same sentiments and issues within myself.* Please don't hate me for stating my point of view. My words might come as harsh, but I do mean well. But then, you already know that...] So, in the end, I would like to ask, 'Are we accomodating God into our lives, or are we accomodating our lives into God's will?' Individualism… We’re all suffering from it…

Sorry for not understanding that. Re loving: I don't think a person who suggests better ways for us to love our parents is wrong. I come from a family of several brothers and sisters and sometimes we help one another to learn how to love our parents. I'm a real messer and my younger sis helped me to show love to Mum by picking up after myself. But of course, sis didn't persecute me into it. But I do get what you mean about those who persecute others into 'loving God.' It's very, very wrong. Goes against everything God Himself demonstrates. Jesus never persecuted us into loving Him.

i hope you’re able to see it in that light.

If you do not accept what anyone says concerning God and the Lord Jesus Christ, what are you going to church for? When you listen to a sermon, when you attend cell group, aren't you allowing someone else to teach you how to love God? Christianity is personal, but isn't it communal as well? Isn't it about relationship with the Lord and with others? If you do not listen to others, how do you expect others to listen to you? You say you 'will not let anyone come into my life to teach me how to treat Jesus and my God,' then what about Eric? Isn't that exactly what he has done/is doing? How can you say your relationship with God is personal and has nothing to do with anybody? Jesus taught the apostles how to love God and they taught others. We permit ourselves to be taught how to love God. It requires humility and a willing heart. What's wrong with that, minishorts? I’m puzzled.

There will ALWAYS be self-righteous, "holier than that thou" people out there ever ready to "save you from yourself" by "giving GREAT advice".... Besides, you got it exactly right - it's a personal thing between you and God. Whether you break out in tongue or say a quiet prayer, it's YOUR CHOICE. Hang in there. (Hope you feel better soon) There, there.
