05/03/23 DESPERATE TIMES...
This is an old thought, but more current than tomorrows breaking news.
It has always been a good idea for people to find a Bible believing church.
It has always been a good idea to become part of that local church.
It has always been a good idea to build your life around such a church.
Sometimes it is not feasible to move a long distance in order to be part of such a church, but more often than not, it is the wisest thing a person can do.
I have already lost some folks, but I have something to add to my comment.
There are very good reasons for a person to find and then become part of a strong Bible church.
If a person knows of a really good, Bible believing church, and the person realizes that they have abilities, skills, gifts that will help that church do an even better job of proclaiming the truth, rescuing the lost and building the faith in others, then that is a very good reason to become part of that ministry.
The other reason is not so much what you might be able to do for that churches ministry, but what that church will do for you, your faith, your walk with God and the your family.
My first thoughts about someone coming to my church (whether they live around the block or across the country), is not what they can do for me and my ministry. Don't misunderstand me. We have great needs in our ministry and I highly respect each person's place in the body. However, I am more interested in what I can do to help a believer. Of course, it will be reciprocal. We will both benefit.
Now, I mentioned that it has always been a good idea. But now it is even more essential.
We need Bible truth and Bible living and we need Bible fellowship in the days ahead, more than we have ever needed it.
Hebrews 10:22-25
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
