Many modern churches have become transformed into major corporations, where the pastors no longer consider themselves as servants in His Kingdom, but instead as bosses with each boss ruling over their own little kingdom in a very strict chain of command. The authority is not in the Word of God, but in the authority of these bosses. This type of church establishment sets people up for spiritual abuse, which leaves them feeling confused, lost, hurt, and in bondage. But when we go to God's Word, the confusion is dissipated because His truths sets us free.
Don't be timid. Come out of the hole and stand firm in the truths of God's Word.
"Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be frightened,
and do not be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with you
wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9 (ESV)
