XD. I said that fellowship is not a valid reason, since like
evolPIG said, which is true, many people go church to see chiobus.
Moreover, most teenagers dont seek fellowship or discussion
about christian life, difficulties in life etc.
Only very good friends are 'useful.' Those normal friends or
even gangs are easily forgotton once you leave the place.
see chiobus... i guess that's what happens when the church is
filled with unregenerate people.
church gatherings exist for the fellowship of the saints - to
encourage one another, to serve one another, to edify and build up
one another, etc. Goes beyond just mere chats and
conversations.
As much as there're those who dont seek what you seek, im sure
there are others who do. If you find that those surrounding u are
pp who only go and see chiobus, then i would suggest u start
finding (actively) like-minded people who dont have that agenda.
Either change cell group, zone, change church, or find other means
of doing so. I hesitate to think of this forum as a place for u to
seek the fellowship u want.
One doesnt go to church merely for sermons, that's just one
aspect. A christian doesnt grow (mature, fruits of the spirit,
etc) without a context. The spiritual body of Christ provides
that environment.
Dont give up.
