How do I quit going to their church and continue with my old church?

Question

I met some ppl whom invited me to church. I went back 3 times after my first visit not because I wanted to but out of respect for the ppl. See, it was a pastor and his wife. They've been trying to help me find a job but I've been looking for one myself and I have booked an interview next week. I kind of told them that I was a church hopper or pretty much that I was a nomad when it came to religion. I've basically been to every kind of church (catholic, baptist, assembly of God, etc) I will go to any if its in good faith. The thing is I don't dislike them or their church but I'm starting to feel threatened to go. I do consider them my friends and they do call me to remind me about church but i'm starting feel like they want me to join the church. I've been thinking and I consider my non-denominational and I even remember that I was a member of a church that I live a block away from now. I want to start going back to that church because when I went there I immediately felt like family and I've had lots of emotional (happy) times there. Its just that stopped going for no reason. Yea, but my whole thing is I was suppose to go to bible study but I had a long day in school (university) and I felt so drained and tired that I came home and went to sleep. I feel so much guilt now and when I go. Plus, i'm doing tough classes this sem. How do I get myself out of or approach this situation?

I do read the Bible daily and I read those Daily Word books.

Answer 1

First of all, you need to go to a church where God leads you, whether it be Baptist, Catholic, Methodist or Presbyterian.  A good Bible based church feeds your soul and makes you long to have a relationship w/Jesus.  If he's a real man of God, he will understand that you are where God lead you, and if not, then cut your loses.  Good luck.

Answer 2

I'd suggest you find a church that you believe God wants you to attend and then join that church.

I'm sure if this couple are Godly people they will understand.

Answer 3

Christian first, Denomination second.

If you have found a church where you feel  at home, go there. You shouldn't go to another just to please your friends. They should understand, if not maybe they aren't your friends after all.

If you believe what the Bible teaches, go to a church that teaches the Bible.

God guide you. <><

Answer 4

You answered your question when you said "I want to start going back to that church because when I went there I immediately felt like family and I've had lots of emotional (happy) times there."

Tell your friends, the Pastor and his wife, that you attend their church only because of your respect for them, however, you miss your old friends and the fellowship you had with them. I'm sure they will understand.

Answer 5

Just tell them you found the church that you want to go to.  And if they have a problem with it just speak kindly and firmly and say that you would rather not talk about it anymore.  You've made your choice.  You're fortunate to have found a place that makes you feel at home.  Don't let pressure from someone else keep you from a special church like that.
