I always thought English have more fun and when I hung out with my English friends I always felt happier. In the Amish, I was at the age to get baptized and I didn\'t want to be baptized Amish so I left.http://www.mapministry.org/news/2010/03/05/moses-shetlerSpire Ad RSS Generator http://www.mapministry.org/news/2010/03/05/moses-shetler#commentshttp://www.mapministry.org/news/2010/03/05/moses-shetler#comments We "English" must keep in mind that being in the world does not permit us to engage in sin and vice. Perhaps it might seem exciting for a while, but it loses its glamour pretty quickly. We will still be tempted to sin, but prayer is poweful. Authentic Christianity means allowing God to guide us (Prov. 3:6) and to be a joy-filled Christian, and not a fire and brimstone joyless drone. We must talk to God like a dear friend and father, and have a one on one relationship with him to find TRUE happiness. I'm a Catholic Christian myself, but you must ask God where He wants you to be among fellow Christians. He will guide you to your spiritual home, and take it seriously- as St. Paul said, "We are not to forsake the assembly." Among other believers, we will find a true joy, an authentic one, absent from legalism and a condemning attitude. God Bless You in your journey! Tue, 18 Jan 2011 15:14:23 EST Moses Shetler - News
