Your Question:
What's the point of going to church when I'm still struggling?
Answer:
As a pastor of a local evangelical church, I've seen many people struggle with feeling like they're not doing enough or that they're not good enough for God. It's easy to get caught up in our own struggles and feel like we're fighting alone. But the truth is, God gives us other people to help us through the tough times. The church is like a tag-team wrestling match, where we can lean on each other for support and perseverance. When we're struggling, it's tempting to try to go it alone or seek help from other sources. But the Bible teaches us that we need each other to stay on the path and to help each other back up when we fall. That's why it's so important to be part of a community of believers, where we can support and encourage each other. By being part of a local church, we can experience the benefits of God's presence and power in our lives, even when we're struggling. As someone who has been in ministry for many years, I can attest to the fact that the church is a place where we can find joy in Christ, even when life is hard. It's not always easy, and it's not always comfortable. But it's in the midst of our struggles that we can find the greatest opportunities for growth and transformation. So, even when you're struggling, I encourage you to keep coming to church, to keep seeking God's presence and power in your life. You never know how He might use you to help others, or how He might use others to help you.
