Bible Question: God Bless and love to all. I belong to a church and my husband only went with me once in years. But he found another church and asked me to go with him. I know he doen't need to go to church just because I go he should go for God but I keep going with him there to support him. My church and this one are very close to God. Does it say anywhere in God word that we HAVE to belong to one certain church? In my heart worshiping God is what matters but I asked that because people join churches lol. We are the church not the building we worship in lol. Thanks and God Bless, Sissy |
Bible Answer: Dear Jesus Keep Me, Welcome to the forum! We have a couple in our church who were both believers but were in different churches. The wife wanted to be in a place where sound Biblical preaching and teaching was going on, the husband was serving as a deacon at the other churh which had many programs and a lot of evangelism. He eventaully left that church because the teaching and preaching was not sound Biblically and came to our little church and serves on our deacon board. The Lord blessed them while they served in different churches in their marriage, but now He is blessing them even more since they are serving together. Word of caution, if your husband is perhaps not saved, then it might be better to go with him to the church he chose in order to follow his leadership. As long as it is a sound Bible believing church you should respect your husband, revere your husband, follow your husband as unto Christ. Your behavior in doing this in all things will help to win him over to Christ all the way as he observes your behavior. We should remember that the husband and wife are one flesh, one person, not two people in one marriage, but one person in one marriage, as Christ is with the church. I believe God would be more pleased to see that the two of you act as one. God's Day to you, Tamara |
