Bible Question:
Iam very confused..I have always had faith and believed in christ,but just this past year i have totally given up my past life,and am trying so hard to do right. i love hearing his word,so ive been attending church..but i dont feel right with some things they do, (like people saying "god just told me"...or speaking in tongues,etc..)How do i know which church is right?all of them do it nowadays! or instead,the sermon is about ties or what they use to do,or what event to plan!!am i wrong for just wanting to hear the word of jesus? |
Bible Answer: Hi Maricjess, I am also looking for a place to call home in the city where I've just moved. My criteria, too, is Word, Word, Word. What I am doing, is during the week visiting the churches in the area and asking for any literature they have that discusses what they corporately as a church profess and teach, what the vision for that particular church is - and then searching the Scriptures to see if the church is scripturally sound; then attend 1-2 services. I trust the Spirit of God to witness with my spirit when I find the place where I am supposed to be. I've made six moves before that required a change of churches due to distance and this approach seems to work just fine. You'll know when you are at home. And don't settle for anything less than the pastor and family God has planned for you. Love in Jesus Skccab |
