| Will I be made to feel bad or guilty while at church? |
That all depends. Some messages are very encouraging and uplifting. Others will challenge your current perspective on life. The Holy Spirit of God does use the Word of God to bring conviction upon people. If you are convicted during a service, that is a good thing. The Spirit of God brings conviction not as an end, but as a means to growth and change that leads to life and peace.
