You ever feel like hooker in church? For some reason I felt like that today. Hands sweaty, eyes kept looking around. Yes weird I know. I hadn’t been in a while not for any good reason or some fundamental difference with Church policy laziness. Pastor said it best lazy Christian. While sitting there I realized God had been whispering or maybe yelling all day. Like I noticed this father talking with his some. Dont know why I just did. he was about 3 or 4. I dont know what the kid did but I know he was in trouble. Here is the part that caught my eye. He wasn’t yelling down to the kid. He was eye level with him. I heard the phrase “do you understand?” So he came down to this Hooker and said “do you understand?” When your job is doing ministry work you can become a lazy Christian. Ive been a lazy Christian for a bit. But he didnt yell down to me. He came down and asked me. No I have no argument of the theological argument of how God speaks to us. I just know I was a hooker in church today. Feeling like I shouldnt be there. feeling like I got stuff to work out before i can come back here. Feeling like im a failure right now so let me work it out and then I’ll come back. Hmm hooker in church. Well tha’s kinda all I got.
Oh I also think the phrase may be whore in church.
wow. Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. You aren’t alone. I’m certain there are lots of whores in church, just many of them are too prideful to admit they are whores – much less talk about it. (It is whore, not hooker.) So, appreciate your thoughts and perspective. We too often see God as looking down at us in utter disgust and disappointment when we should really see him as a loving father who wants to teach us and lead us in the right direction. Thanks for sharing, Drew. I miss hanging out with you.
I would have to agree. I believe that we whore each other out in church, can I say that? heh I mean we treat each other like outcasts if we have tattoo’s or if we wear certain clothing etc. I hate churches like that because Jesus hung out with the outcasts, the trash of society. I love that about Jesus. I love that He isn’t prejudicial in His love. I just wish our church members could realize this. I hope your experience of this stops. Find that personality trait in God that you can hold onto. Focus on His kindness or grace that prevents you from feeling unworthy or like you shouldn’t be there.
Remember…We come to Jesus to get fixed. We don’t try to get fixed and then go to Jesus.

“feeling like I got stuff to work out before i can come back here.” this is a huge line. I would like to know how many people this applies to.
