AVOIDING CHURCHES: DISCERNING THE RIGHT CONGREGATION TO JOIN
Avoid churches that align with the world's values.
Stay clear of churches that fail to denounce sin.
Refrain from attending churches where Christ's message takes a backseat.
Steer clear of churches that cater to popular opinions instead of preaching truth.
Avoid churches that prioritize material wealth at the expense of salvation and repentance.
Do not attend churches whose primary focus is on financial gain or self-improvement, rather than spiritual growth.
Stay away from churches more interested in your wallet than your soul.
Avoid places where preachers' sermons always end in asking for money from members.
Seek out spiritual fellowship centers rather than social clubs masquerading as religious institutions.
Avoid worship services that celebrate entertainers instead of focusing on the Holy Spirit.
Instead, search for a church community centered around love, compassion, and inclusivity while prioritizing Christ's teachings above all else.
Look for congregations who encourage questioning and critical thinking while welcoming diverse perspectives.
Attend a church committed to addressing social justice issues within their community actively.
SUMMARY
Join a congregation providing safe spaces regardless of race, gender identity or sexual orientation. One focused on member well-being over personal gain or financial success. One which proclaims Christ first and condemns sin. One which promotes inclusion over exclusivity towards any group. One which celebrates the Holy Spirit over fundraising efforts or entertainment value. One which is promoting spiritual growth rather than just superficial friendships. Above all else find people who embody love in everything they do, both inside and outside their faith community.
