Bible Question: My pastor wouldn't marry me to my boyfriend b/c he doesn't know us spiritually due to the fact that we haven't attended that church (I'm a member of) in about a year. He had only been with our church for less than a week when he made this decision. He wouldn't talk to me to find out where I am spiritually (his assistant spoke with me on the phone). I am closer to Christ now that I watch TBN every day and listen to KLOVE everyday that I was when I only went to church every sunday. Should I be looking for another church? |
Bible Answer: Dear Prisygrl7, I can only offer some general observations as I don't have personal knowledge of your situation. First of all, why have you not attended this church for the last year? Secondly, I would strongly encourage that you meet with the Pastor personally to discuss your concerns. There are two sides to the issue! Before you seek another church, commit the situation to the Lord and seek His guideance (Prov. 3:5-6). Remember to follow the admonition in Hebrews 10:25, to "not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some..." Lastly, as a personal recommendation, I'd limit my exposure to TBN! Don't use it as a substitute for personal interaction and fellowship with other believers in a local assembly. Speaking The truth In Love, BradK |
