My husband and I are also stationed in Hawaii, but I'm at home while the guys are deployed. I can't find the courage to go to church alone, without him. It just seems like a constant reminder he's not sitting beside me. We go every Sunday when he's home, and when he leaves, I can feel God missing me. Also, the church that we had been going to turned out to be a church that "speaks in tongues." I feel the <b>exact</b> same way about it as you do, because, HELLO, it's in the Bible! There's no way around those verses--they straightforwardly say that unless God has given others the means to understand your tongues, that you're more or less full of yourself. Have you found a church home in Hawaii? I'll be moving there once he returns in the spring, and the first thing I want to do besides actually move in is find us a new church home!Colleenhttp://cbhirn.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787213069445299547.post-20016488181935373072011-10-10T12:16:33.102-04:002011-10-10T12:16:33.102-04:00Thanks for sharing your journey in looking for a c...Thanks for sharing your journey in looking for a church family to be a part of - I know it can be hard, and I'll be praying for you guys as you continue to seek out a community where God is leading you to be a part of.Kayleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01177043365218384703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787213069445299547.post-81186807180113726212011-10-09T21:13:08.622-04:002011-10-09T21:13:08.622-04:00It's refreshing to see another Christian coupl...It's refreshing to see another Christian couple out there who is serious about their walks with the Lord. My Hubby & I were both raised in a Baptist church so I agree with you. The Husband is the head of the house & the spiritual leader. Don't worry about "Church shopping" , God will direct you to the Church He wants you to be at. You made the right decision to leave, you can't attend a church where you don't believe what is being preached. God bless & I will be praying for y'all <3The Johnston'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09814377131441398648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787213069445299547.post-7558042558110356302011-10-09T12:24:10.406-04:002011-10-09T12:24:10.406-04:00when we were stationed in hawaii it seemed like al...when we were stationed in hawaii it seemed like all the churches were four square churches and it was hard to find something that was not. And I also hate church shopping!! I will pray you all find a church. I don't know if this will help, but while we were in HI we went to trinity central oahu in Mililani. (they have a website). The pastor's teaching was really challenging (in a good way) and while the music was contemporary, it was also reverent. It's been 4 years since we've been there, but I wanted to share.Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13725713547585834798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787213069445299547.post-68142738043706798732011-10-09T09:45:34.009-04:002011-10-09T09:45:34.009-04:00Oh, wow!

When I was small (probably around 5 or so), my great aunt brought me to church with her and they spoke in tongues. It scared me and scarred me for life. Now, I realize why it did, thanks to your post. <br><br>I really need to get back into church. I am doing a bible study at the moment, but I need more. I hope my husband will go with me. I hope and pray that you find a church home soon!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04541702177347386697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787213069445299547.post-74816881092758656602011-10-09T09:29:34.671-04:002011-10-09T09:29:34.671-04:00I also hate "church shopping".

And as far as speaking in tongues, I believe it says somewhere in the bible that should be done in private? I've also been in a church where they claimed to have the 'Holy Spirit' and talk in tongues, I never went back there.Diannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11041870231347045342noreply@blogger.com
