What's the point?

A man goes to work, where he has to drop everything for everybody, gets constantly told he's not doing good enough, or that he's doing it wrong, and has to do it the boss's way or he'll get fired.

Then he goes home to the love and comfort of his family. Where he has to drop everything for everybody, gets constantly told he's not doing enough, or that he's doing it wrong, and he has to do everything her way or he'll get fired divorced.

So then he turns to the hope and comfort of his religion. Where he gets told from the pulpit that he's not good enough, or that he's doing it wrong, and that he should drop everything for everyone else, and he has to do it God's way or he'll get fired eternally.

Seriously, why bother?

    I can't speak to your family or work situations, but I will say this about your pastor: if he's preaching condemnation from the pulpit, then he's flat-out wrong. John 3:17 says, "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

    God's all about love, and your pastor is mistaken. I say this upon my honor as a man of God, sir.

      It's more along the lines of the teaching of the Church. What happens when you can't "Go and Sin no more?"

      We can't "sin no more". That's the whole reason why we need Jesus. With Him, God forgives our sins - past, present, and future (as long as we repent & try not to repeat them). Emphasis is on "try".

      See? I'm not the only one who believes this.

    I been told I wasn't good enough since I was about 4. I just do what I can, the best I can and they can like it or lump it. Failure IS an option. As long as you do your best there is no shame in failure.

    If your current church leaders provide a message of hopelessness, change churches. Our goal is to be more Christlike each day. Hope and encouragement in our faith to strive joyfully, forgiving our failures and celebrating days when we persevere must be part of our relationship with ourLord and his church. If your group of men is failing you, find a broup that will inspire you. You need and deserve this! Big hugs to you!
