How Shall We Proceed?

To the question, "Why even bother going to church. They all seem so dead."
I will say, "Indeed, you speak of the church of Sardis (Rev. 3)." We have a purpose and this can only be done in the power of the Holy Ghost.
Jesus taught us to pray: "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done." When we do this, and make the prayer real in our lives, God will use us mightily in any situation we are in. The thing to remember about the churches is, there are some who have not defiled themselves. The Lord's call is to strengthen those who remain (faithful). Many will not listen, but some will.
I left church Sunday, wanting to wretch. The resistance to the Holy Spirit of some who just want to do their good works, be intellectual and believe that is the Lord, just sickened me. I still have to be loving to them. I have to be repentant.
The important thing is, there are some who can be strengthened and can be strong and do exploits.
The eyes of the Lord still run to and fro throughout the earth searching for a people He can show Himself great in. Consider a great investment has been made by Him in you and He expects return with interest.

God's Presence Removed?

After having visited a Bible Church yesterday, I wanted to wretch.  The unbelief among the members is so strong, God cannot be heard nor experienced among them.  The presence of God is not there.

Oddly, most of the members have been studying the Bible for years.  There seems to be pride in knowledge.  Each person enjoys his chance to pontificate what he knows.

My question is this:  Is God speaking at all in the present time?  Is there anything for us to know concerning the ensuing weeks, months and years.  Another question.  When was the last time you were concerned whether you were going to be able to pay recurring costs of living?  Is there anything we should know about how we are to live, or do we ignore current events and enjoy what we can for as long as we can, giving no thought for the future nor taking responsibility for anything more than each person's own pleasure?

How can I find a place of corporate worship where God is present?  Could God be present in any local church?  Should each individual diligently, daily seek fellowship with Christ in solitary prayer to make any kind of impact on what we call church to invite the Holy Spirit in our midst?
