Bible Note: 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. |
