Do as God says.
Your prayers will be answered.
Ask for a sign.
God answers your faith.

Wait for the signal.
Serve with kindness.
That's how true Christians
Always have been.

Leftists drive ppl to grudges. What good is there in that? Elections here are over. Fix up what Obama ruined.

If you are a new Christian, and you feel that your pastor is preaching the "denominational" message rather than the Bible's message, you would probably do well to change churches, until you find one under whose pastor you can grow in Christ, without worrying about his credibility or integrity.

If you have been in the faith for some time, and have been steadily growing in Christ, I would recommend staying in the church of which you are currently a member.

Swiss theologian Karl Barth once wrote in a letter:  "Even if there is cause for great dissatisfaction with one's church, one should stay in it in the hope that new movements will come...."

You aren't going to find a church that teaches by the Bible, as their purpose is to teach their doctrines.

You should sit down with your Bible, and that will teach you what you need to learn - a church isn't necessary. When you have your beliefs in place (if you don't already), search out a group that has those same beliefs.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love YHWH, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Personally, I would pray that God place me in a church that is teaching according the to Word of God.  The Bible tells us that we can be deceived by false teachings.  I would look for another church if God laid it on my heart.  Good luck in your search but lay the burden on God rather than your own shoulders.  He is so much more able than us to carry loads.

Yes... if you are trying to follow the teachings of the Bible, it would only make sense to find a church that is teaching from the Bible.

One day I said, 'I will go out & look for my enemies' and on that day I found no friends. The next day I said, 'I will go out & look for my friends' & on that day I found no enemies. ~YeddaHeads~

Certainly yes -- you should find a church that is governed according to the dictates in the Bible.
