With all due respect, I think you are maybe misunderstanding. I believe in this wholeheartedly, but lately I have struggled with some doubts. I pray, and fast, and do the other things you have mentioned. I'm just looking for somewhere to talk this stuff through without freaking out those who are close to me and giving them a false idea that I'm backsliding or something. We all have questions, don't we? Should we step down from leadership everytime we go through a difficult season?
EDIT: I guess the only real core doctrinal thing I disagree on is tithing, but I still give to support the church, and I think for a lot of people the number will be more than 10 percent. It's just that 10 percent is an arbitrary number and I don't think we should take scripture out of context to try and force the issue.
