1 Corinthians 9:19-23 (ESV)For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.
In life we need acceptance. In life we need friends. In life we need to feel we belong. If however, we are wounded and hurt, abandoned and afraid we will do almost anything for that love and acceptance.
When we come to Christ and begin to read His word we may be a bit confused about what the word says. This is why we need teachers and preachers in our life. We need to come to church not for our religious duty but because the Word tells us to. (Hebrews 10:25)
When we come to church it is like taking a shower, eventually the Word will wash us clean. When we come to church it is like eating and, it may take a while to get well and regain our spiritual strength.
Compromising to get our needs met will only hurt ourselves and then, we will hurt others. I want to encourage you to be who God created YOU to be! The only way that you will find the true you--the person God created you to be is through the power of Jesus Christ.
Choose life! Deuteronomy 30:19 "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live."
