Your Question:
What's the point of going to church when I'm still struggling?
Answer:
My friend, I completely understand your struggle. It's natural to feel like giving up when life is hard, and it's easy to wonder what's the point of going to church when we're still struggling. But let me tell you, as someone who's been in the trenches of ministry for many years, the church is where we find the strength to keep going. It's where we learn to have joy in Christ, even when life is hard. You see, God has entrusted his church to people like me, and that means we're not alone in our struggles. We have brothers and sisters who can carry us when we're exhausted, who can help us back up when we fall. And that's exactly what the church is meant to be - a tag-team wrestling match where we support each other and help each other out. So don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help - that's what the church is for. As a pastor, I've seen time and time again how the church can be a source of strength and comfort in the midst of struggles. It's not always easy, and it's not always comfortable, but it's where we learn to focus on Jesus Christ and find our joy in Him. So don't give up on the church just yet - keep coming, keep seeking, and keep trusting that God will use his people to help you through the tough times.
