Fellowship

When I was watching

this

video it honestly made me sad. It reminded me of my disobedience to fellowship with believers.( I do feelowship sometimes, but I have no believing friends my age, that share the convictionas i do... is it wrong to not want to be with those people all the time, since they are believers?)

I do go to a wonderful local church. Its just hard to be there when I'm the only one my age. Everyone else is either extremely younger, or older. Reno is a tough one when it comes to finding true faith. There are other believers out here my age, but they go to those "mega" churches. I would still like to fellowship with them. Its hard to see people my age go after their own emotions then after the living God.

I'm not looking for a pity party.... I just want to know if there are people who have gone through these things before? Could anyone help?

Well - I know nothing about you but your concern tells me something about the degree of your maturity - which is commendable. I would urge you to look at 1. Peter 2:1f.: Christians are bred, fed and led by the Word!
Your situation is not unique and you may be a blessing and encouragement to older believers. I am not sure about the video clip - what is your view on it?

Well, the teaching in itself is good, but I saw all those people my age! Wish I could go to something like that.

Someday I will.
