I'm not exactly in good graces with the church right now, or with the Lord either... but that's a lot to process for just an introduction.
Talk to y'all later. God bless.

Not in good graces with the church? That might be a good thing. Some times "churches" can be abusive and unrealistic.
"Stay Apostolic"? If you believe what the Apostles wrote (our New Testament) you are Apostolic.
Not in good graces with the Lord? That's easily remedied. If we admit (confess) any sin (failure/shortcoming/missing the mark) God is faithful to forgive and to cleanse.
But, let me remind you, just because you might not be in the good graces of a "church" does not mean you are not in good graces with the Lord. Some churches add all kinds of stuff like rules and "standards" to the Word and judge you by that.
The main thing is, how are things between you and Jesus?
