All very good comments by everyone and I was blessed spiritually reading the replies, I was in the dumps, frustrated and ready to say enough, but I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. BTW, I am a Sunday School teacher, I occassionally give the message and also I'm a deacon, but in my church I feel like the lone ranger when it comes to being faithful. I have been treated as though I have the plague and an outcast. Dave, thanks for your kind words, I really do want the body to experience the joy of the Lord, not just go through the motions each week.
Sadly, my Sunday school class is held in the back of the church so nobody sees it unless I seek individuals out. The 5 individuals that come love it but I unable to get anyone else interested. The other classes that the women teach are better attended, and nothing against women, but the teaching is horrible, but it is what people like. They use bible study books where I create my own lessons line by line through books of the bible. I also do the Wed. night devotionals, working through the non-negotiable doctrines of the faith. Again, I get good feedback that individuals are being benefited by it. As a deacon, I have been trying to avoid conflict and I guess you could say I'm not angry, just very frustrated. I was told a long time ago to not let resentment through the door and so far I have avoided that. Again, sorry for the negativity,but your replies have done a Christian service to my soul. I know from reading this you probably think my teaching is bad and that is the problem, but it isn't that, it is just people don't like to hear the truth. I had one deacon actually say I talk too much about sin and shake the faith of people.
I just believe until we understand sin, we'll never understand our God and His Son as we should.
God Bless,
Hisalone
