Question
Hello. I had a couple of questions about a list of charactar qualities that are on the internet for christians. I try to do what's right but I slip almost every day. One of the qualities is organization for instance. Living at home and sharing a room, it is a lot of times hard to have any organization. My housemates have tons of stuff and sometimes even if I try to clean it they get offended because it's theirs. Also, if you feel like your church is spreading false doctrines should you quit attending?

Answer
Hi Darlene,

You do certainly seem troubled.First of all, no matter how we try we all slip up every day sometimes with out even knowing about it.You should first speak to your room mates about your feelings, they may understand. If not do not hold yourself responsible for their actions.

You must hold on to your faith in God and follow what you feel to be right, the Lord will guide you in this.

Now, feeling like your church is spreading false doctrines
is a different matter, you have not given me any examples of what is being said, but you are obviously troubled by what you are hearing.
This is not the first time I have heard this!
First of all you have to be sure that you fully understand what is being said, if not please speak to your Pastor and ask him to explain some of the doctrines to you, a good Pastor will always give you time and he should want to put your mind at rest.

If then you are still unhappy then I would take your concerns to the Church membership, it may be that others have raised this issue before if so then this must be addressed.


Regards and God Bless
