1 | Hebrews 6:4 -Am I a useless cause? | John 11:25 | EdB | 120942 | ||
formereverything I understand your frustration however you need to go back and read what Angel has said it is very good advice. If we continually hunt for a church to line up with our thinking aobut how we want to serve God we will end up in a church of one. There are many good churches and denominations out there. They are not perfect nor are they totally right on every point of theology but they are so close that if given an honest effort one can find a place within them. I suggest you take Angels advice and find a church and plug in, if they have faults study the reasoning behind those faults and see if it in fact a fault, a misunderstanding, ignorance or in some cases maybe the work of deception.

That sounds easier said than done. Please don't dismiss my struggle so easily. I am married with a 3yo son. IT is EXTREMELY difficult to find a church that: 1)Supports the family unit 2)Has a ministry for women 3)ministry for men 4)ministry for couples 5) has a bible-based children's ministry. I don't think I would be much of a Christian Husband or Father if I did not take these points into consideration. The truth of the matter is this, Since leaving Mormonism I have not found a church that has all of these principles. My thinking is this: I don't NEED a church to learn the truth, that is only found with the Bible and a personal relationship with Christ. But I and my family do need FELLOWSHIP with bible-beleiving Christians. This is true especially since we are so prone to slip into cults. My wife and I are far from "Sunday Christians". We firmly beleive that to be part of a community, we must do our share. Another words, we will not commit to giving our time, tithe and talent to a church that doesn't support family values through ministry. When we find a bible based church there are usually either no small groups, no children's program or in many cases are dominated by DINKS(Double Income No Kids), with Word Of Faith doctrines prevelant. OR If there is a support system of ministries in place it seems that they are supporting a false gospel of works and ritual.. WE have earnestly prayed for a home to be led to. However in the meantime we have found it in three places. This is not the ideal but for now it is a temporary solution. |

Hi, formereverything! I just want to encourage you to let God lead you to a truth teacing church (I understand - it's easier said than done with all of the false doctrines and hypocrites!). Maybe the reason you haven't found a church with all of the ministries you want is because God will use you to start them - you have a great testimony (I'm just speculating and not prophesying)! In the meantime, while you are going to the three churches, continue strengthening your relationship with God so that you can know the difference between what the truth is and the rest. I will be praying for you and your family. WalkingTalkingBible |
