Do you attend church services regularly? Are you a member of a church? If so, why? Over the years, I have learned that most church goers are going to all the wrong churches for all the wrong reasons. “My wife likes it there, ” one says. Another says, “We have always went there.” “They have a good youth program.” “My kid’s friends go there.” “Well, that’s just where most people go.” “My boyfriend goes there.” “They have a large nursery.” “I get to sing in the choir.” “I teach a Sunday school class.” “I like the preacher.”
Every reason given above is an UNSCRIPTURAL reason. God never told you to attend “the church of your choice.” The devil told you that. God’s word is supposed to be your Final Authority in life. God’s word is your measuring stick. With God’s word you can discern which church is the best church.
The primary issue in choosing a church is DOCTRINE. What does the church believe? No matter how many exciting “programs” the church may have, if they do not believe the right things, then you have no business attending or joining. You are to attend the church of GOD’S CHOICE, not the church of your choice.
Before joining any church, ask for a Statement of Faith and check it carefully. If one is not available, at least speak with the Pastor personally and get answers to the following questions. This concerns YOUR spiritual well- being. You have every right to ask questions. In fact, a genuine Bible-believing Pastor will appreciate you asking doctrinal questions.
The answer to every question should be a very definite “Yes.” If the answer is “No” or “I’m not sure, ” then keep looking because there are better churches to join. A “Yes” answer to each question doesn’t guarantee that the church in question will be the best one for you, but it does help you to guard yourself from many of the heresies in our midst.
