RE: Going Back & Finding Nothing There

I am still struggling with an emotional block about attending church. Part of my problem is that for years I attended very friendly Baptist churches. The congregation often went out of their way to welcome new comers. After having been a Christian for awhile, I absorbed the message that my friendliness and how I presented myself could be a factor in whether a person might want to further investigate Chrisianity. Some of my friends prayed that they would recognize the perfect moment to pounce on nonsuspecting friends and convert them to Christianity. This background has made me feel on guard when I enter a church which doesn't make attending church a pleasant experience.
