Questioned

it was a harsh night at newton for me. i was being questioned.. 'is christianity real'.
the whole question and answer was a huge battle for me.. cause i don't know much. this led to intense guilt and disappointment. if i don't attend church every week, if i don't attend cell group, if i don't speak in tongues.. can i call myself a christian?
does it matter what church i go to when we're worshipping the same God?
tongues is the communication between god and u. if u can't speak in tongues.. does that mean u can't communicate with God?
it was a lose lose situation for me... the thing is.. questions against christianity is always pretty unfair. for eg: pple would ask.. if you know that the church is earning so much from ur offering.. why do u still give?"
but if you don't offer.. they'd go "as a christian how come u don't give offering".
do you just pray and all ur sins are forgiven?

all this doubts, i could not give a solid answer. and i felt unworthy to be a christian. why am i not able to 'defend' what i believe in.
i too have many doubts about other religion. do i question? No. i respect. i wish the same.
do not question my believe.. because i have something special, Faith.

hey there...it is not true that if u cant speak tongues, it doesnt mean u cant communicate with Him. Tongues is just a extra special gift..so dont be sad..but if u wish do receive the special gift..pray to Him..and it will be given to u but of course it will come immediately or in future.God has already plan ur future so don be worry and jux follow His words..Do not feel unworthy to be His children. The Bible has all the answer to all your question so do read up or look for a cell leader or even pastor..^^ take care..

Faith...
