Subject: biblical authority |
Bible Note: I have to agree with Searcher56. Although the Bible isn't ideally specific with this guidance as it seems to allow some leeway for our better judgment, it is better to serve and assemble with one congregation. I know...I've been a member of one congregation while visiting another one just a few miles away for the express purpose of finding a congregation more suitable to the needs and personality of both my wife and myself. I like to use the ole phrase of "Growing where God plants you." However, there's nothing wrong with transplanting oneself to another group but I do think expects us to make up our mind and become a solid asset to one group and become truly productive. You can't really do that if you're splitting up your time, effort and loyalties to more than one. Again, I must admit there's not a whole of scripture to guide us here, just some wisdom from those of us, "long in the tooth." Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |
