Hello all, I used CC all the time when I was 13 and up. After a while I stopped coming here and now I'm 36. It is unbelievable that 23 years ago, I was sitting at the family computer every chance I got and connecting with others, having conversations about God and random silly things. This website was such a highlight for me back in the day. Then it completely changed and I never felt like it was the same simple place to come back and connect to. Now I'm a newlywed and because of so many things, I feel so alone right now. I know God is watching over my life and working everything out for my good but tears still well up and my chest hurts. I listen to the Bible app and interact with that quite a bit. I was single and afraid to commit until I met my husband. Now I go to his church and I'm so discouraged when I go there. "It's like a den of vipers," I thought as I sat there today. I really wish there was a space where I could just hop on to a chat room like before and talk randomly about whatever is on my mind or just listen. I don't even know how CC works anymore or if there is even a chat room. I feel so alone. I don't know how I am going to make it through this difficult period of my life.

As a newlywed, congratulations!
It's sad that other things are robbing your joy.
I can empathize knowing that others can affect that. The very first thing I have done when considering a church is whether the pastor is Saved or Not.<

Every church has problems even if it has 3 people in it. I've been in small home churches just getting started to the biggest mega church that started that way.
Perhaps there is only one couple that your husband can connect with in a spiritually edifying way. I would focus on daily devotions with nothing more than the Bible and time in the morning alone with the Lord....unless your man wants to lead it. A daily reading schedule and in the evening will help. Maybe the church/ sermons won't be the main source of growth, but you can still walk with the Lord in peace.

I had no idea that this forum was around that long. That probably makes it special.

I should proofread better before posting.

I have read in the Bible where the Lord rebuked the Jewish church leaders like that. There are certainly churches today that earn that reputation.
The issue is more now since you are married and to follow your husband.
Perhaps there is only one couple that YOU AND your husband can connect with in a spiritually edifying way.
If not, then I would consider other possibilities.

. I would pray for you and your husband to receive supernatural discernment. I've done this for others and seen the Lord do that for those who could not be influenced. God actually saved someone's life this way.
He can help here too.

Blessings

Hi moddell01, glad the Lord led you back here, welcome! This is sad you sound so unhappy and you're married. Just from what I would do is I would be straight up w/your hubby and tell him your thoughts on his church. Whatever the root is of your unhappiness you need to figure that out and as been said, cast it to the Lord and let Him deal with it. Look up promises from God and claim the ones that you need rn. Believers should have 'the joy of the Lord' to show the Christ in us to others, so Godspeed in blessing you with discernment and faith, IJNA🌹🙏✝✝✝✡
