The discernment of my FOC

christosanesti

I once attended church and my FOC said to all the youth you are now grown up you choose now if you want to go to church or clubbing
I got offended (not in a hateful manner) by that and stop going to youth meetings. Now I have taken it too far and have not went too long. My habit had been broken

Please resume your habit of going to youth meetings - don't let minor issues like this get in the way of your salvation.
If you are not happy with your FOC, you can always change him, but first I think it would be beneficial if you talk to him frankly about how you feel.
Personally, I don't feel there is anything wrong with what he said - ultimately, no-one can be forced to go to church, and must make there own decisions in life, for God has given us free will.  I don't think your FOC meant that going clubbing and going to the youth meeting are equally good; he is just trying to make people commit to church by making their own decision that they will consciously reject clubbing and go to the youth meeting.

God bless.
