A Difficult Choice

So i’ve been debating whether i should stop going to the SDA church i’ve been going to for about two years.

Reasons For Leaving:

The young adult/collegiate Sabbath school is less about God and the Bible and more about parroting liberal ideology without fear of “censorship” from traditionalists and conservatives (ie, people like me). While this seems like a rather petty reason to stop going, it is my belief that one should attend church to reconnect with God and receive a spiritual blessing. What i’m getting is no different than i can get on here or facebook: frustration, anger, sorrow, detachment and a further incentive to react towards these liberal attacks in a selfish, sinful way. It seems wrong to go when all it is doing is courting temptation rather than blessing and being blessed.

Reasons Against Leaving:

It is the only Seventh-Day Adventist church within a reasonable travel distance. Having no spiritual connection at all causes spiritual duress, depression, and speeds temptation. Despite these people hating everything that i am and represent, they are the only Christians i know in my area, to say nothing of the only SDAs in my area.

So it’s a choice of cutting off a source of temptation and frustration and replace with more temptation, or remain in and endure the former temptation because it is the only spiritually rejuvenating source in my area.
