okay. my family and i dont go to church. but i am religious. i was elected FCA secretary for this coming up year. as a duty, i have to bring guest speakers to speak at the meetings. since my family and i dont go to church, i dont know any other religious adult speakers. i talked with my mom and she said to just talk to my sponser. but i feel like im letting my sponser down and everyone else. see, in the form i sign i said that i went to church and could get guest speakers. i guess i wanted a position so bad that i lied. i am very religious and pray to god to forgive me and help me out of this. what should i tell my sponser? that we dont go to church anymore and my family is not religious? i feel awful and wish that i never ran. please help me.

The best thing you can do is be honest. Pray about the situation and do what you think is the right thing to do; that may be talking to your sponser and telling them the truth, or you may choose to make a few phone calls to youth groups at larger churches in the area and see if they have a person on staff who regularly speaks those types of events. If you do find someone on your own, I suggest talking to them personally before the event to make sure they know what they're talking about and can be relevant to your group.
Personally, I must recommend getting involved with a church, especially if you want to be serious about "religion". A lot of people don't think they have to, or think they can be Christian and not go, but they only fool themselves. Biblically we're supposed to be involved with other believers who are on "good terms" with God and these relationships will build us up spiritually. Chruch isn't supposed to be about singing songs or listing to some guy talk, it's supposed to be about iron-sharpening-iron relationships (two or more people building each other up) with fellow believers. So yeah, that's pretty much it, be honest, pray and talk to people at local churches.

First of all, you aren't religious, you're a Christian. Religion is all the false crap going on in the world, Islam, Buddhism, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, etc. Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; not a religion. Second, you DO need to find a good Bible believing church to attend. Take your parents too! Any Pastor, Deacon, or Elder should be willing AND glad to speak at your functions. Even plain ol' members of the congregation probably would too. Don't feel too bad about lying. You've already admitted you were wrong and asked for forgiveness...... If your sponsor is a true Christian, you should be able to walk up to him or her and explain the situation and they should be able to really help you out of your problem and forgive you at the same time.They should understand fully. Don't make it so hard on yourself. FCA is a fine organization. I'll pray for you.

If you truly believe, then start attending church. Just because you haven't done it in a long time, doesn't mean you can't go back now. It's not such a difficult thing. And then you wouldn't have any problem finding those speakers.

If you don't want to look like a hipocrite, maybe you should go to church. Go to a different one each week - maybe with different friends - until you find one that makes you comfortable and feel welcome. Then start attending that church and become active in that church's youth group. Soon you'll know people in the church who might come speak to your group.

they are not Jews because Jew's do not trust the messiah has come yet. they don't trust Jesus so believing in Jesus and affirming your Jewish obviously contradicts one yet another.... it is unhappy that there are those Evangelist Christians that call themselves "Jews". stop this custom now, your disgracing both Judaism and Christianity.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins. Please don't take this wrong, but it sounds like you could use a little help doing that. I recommend you humbly and privately speak to your sponsor, and resign your position. I'm pretty sure your sponsor will receive you with grace, if you are forthcoming.
