You're right, there are always going to be two conflicts the Christian faces. One between himself and conforming to the image of Christ. The other between themself and the pressures of the culture to conform to its image.
This is a reason finding a good church to support one in both conflicts is required. As you do it yourself, it will be very tempting to give up either conflict. I think it's in either extraordinary circumstance that God would expect a Christian to do these by themselves."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

Like in countries where the persecution is so horrible, that Christians can't meet together even if they want to? Or if there is no good church in the ares. Meaning that the only "churches" are cults led by wolves in sheep clothing.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

It's certainly getting harder to find a good church anymore. Certainly around here, many churches have been become either a social club with a steeple or mental health/life coaching. They don't have a strong connection to God. I'm ready to declare the white middle-class church as spiritually dead and try others ethnic churches."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings."
