It's one of those things where I really am not bitter (despite how it sounds!), I just question a lot of things. Even at work, I question why we do certain things. But thinks for the advice there, I agree that the best solution is to go with the flow and make sure I am glorifying God in what I do. Thanks! I understand what you are saying, and I agree.

I read your too. Your writing is very honest and heart-felt. I know what you mean. I would just say that I've been in a boat of cynism before [not saying you are], but how you perceive your church and the activities it does could lead towards bitterness and backsliding. At our church we dress up for Sundays, and also stand for the reading of God's Word. But I have come to the conclusion that if my pastor wants to do it that way - I'm fine with it, and submit to his leadership, and believe that God is please with that attitude. Sure, God probably doesn't care what we wear, but it's just wearing our best for God - just like we would do if the President met with us once a week. We wouldn't wear sweat pants & a T-shirt into the Oval office. It would be inappropriate. But I would encouage you just keep it in prayer. Stay humble, and allow the Holy Spirit to get your eyes on Jesus, and not on all the "other stuff" that can at times hinder that beautiful walk with God that He's called us into. Adam,
