Subject: Which Church is the right one? |
Bible Note: Edb, I know where you are coming from and it’s for sure that no one other then the Lord can answer some of these painful questions. The church that I attend started out in a little old cinder block building in a very poor section of town and has grown to what it is now over a period of years. To my knowledge there have only been three head pastors, in the years that it’s been in existence. I went for a period of time, in my Christian life, with out a home church. It was 17 years to be exact and the reason was, that I wasn’t being feed. I got disgusted with going to church every week and getting the same old thing to feed on spiritually. I was able to feed myself and was getting more then the pastor was feeding me. The Lord taught me how to dig out truth for myself self and I was getting Bible studies on tapes and since I couldn’t find a church that fulfilled this need my wife and I just quit going. Can you imagine what our kids would look like if all we gave them to eat was baby pabulum and a bottle for a period of twenty years? Well that was my problem, I needed the meat of the Word and couldn’t find it anywhere in the area. I think that one of the things that I missed the most besides face-to-face teaching, which was very basic, was the fellowship of other believers. It has only been in the last three years that my wife and I have found the church that we are in now. And I would attribute that fact to a verse of Scripture. Hebrews 10:25 (the last part) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. I know a pastor that says every time he announces that he is going to teach the book of Revelation that the church fills up like they are crawling of the woodwork or something. I think you will get my drift on this after you read something. CDBJ |
