need to talk:discouraged after hear preaching

[Krt]

Thanks for the laugh!

When talking of this stuff, I try to discern the spirit behind what is written and have not had anyone in this thread come across with a bad spirit... bitter.... there goes another dollar! Some people do leave church with a very ugly spirit and I know to stay away from all their talk...

Someone talked me into going to church this past Sunday and I don't know what is wrong with me. I can go talk to my pastor, I hope it won't leave me more confused. I just feel broken and am seeking answers, not just what I have been taught all these years. Things haven't felt right with me so I am bringing them to God... I thought maybe He may use someone here, which the post above I said He did... but I still don't know how to not get upset with the messages, like this previous Sunday again, where you are encouraged to do more and more and you feel like they are saying you aren't loving God enough and sacrificing enough...
I cried so much at the end of that service and asked God for peace and a discerning spirit and to know if I am taking the message the wrong way... My husband was so upset because I was hurting so much. He doesn't know what to do and understands how I feel too...
I told him I just feel like I can't live for God, I can't live up to it... I can't understand how this all lines up with His yoke is easy and His burden is light. So if the other saints do not feel like I feel when these messages come across it must be me.... I just probably am not into this style of preaching? Just thinking out loud here. Oh, and its the type of messages that I hear from Charles Stanley that help me grow as a christian... and some others like him, that is how I wished our preachers would be...

So, I should just go to my Pastor's office with this? And ask him how we are supose to receive these messages? (It was a visitor that morning not him) But its been this type of preaching for yeeeaaars at all the churches I've gone too...
