I am interested in finding a church near me once I don't have to wear a mask in anymore. I've been watching service's online since March. I started going to church at a bigger church that had several campuses but want to go elsewhere now
Hmm idk I suggest to pray and look for a church that matches what you believe God wants you to go to.
Make sure to cross reference the pastor and be sure he's telling the truth
If he doesn't give bible verses to follow along he ain't the best
Thats my opinion
The church I started at had a change in leadership in March right before the pandemic. Although the new pastor has mostly good messages, It doesn't feel like the right place anymore. And they seemed to have caved to BLM which makes me question it. Thank you for sharing
Mhm and yes one thing that I feel churches shouldn't do is get politically involved unless it directly controdics the bible
You have to see what an organization is before you go and support something like blm
Yeah I agree, the leader at our church liked Obama in his first term until he saw him approve of abortion and gay marriage. The church should only get involved in politics if it goes against the Bible.
Yeah if the church has a website go to their about us section and read what they believe in. Saves you alot of time
Thats good advise for modern day churches @DeButcher
My church do not wear mask which i like
Do you guys think charity is more Christian than taxes for the poor
Yes, enforced morality isn’t true morality. Not to mention that money goes more so to line pockets than to help the poor
Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.
Psalms 82:3 NKJV
@Thunderstr1ke i think taxing people for the poor had good intentions, but in the hands of the government very little goes well
I think this quote perfects how to take care of the poor, “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”
@Thunderstr1ke yes, I agree. What about the people who have the skills and choose not to use them?
Encourage them, help them get out there and do something!
I have a cousin who is in a deep depression and drinks heavily in his parents basement and has been disrespectful to them all his life. He isn't religious that I know of but according to my mom expressed some interest in church. As someone who is newer to Christianity and does not know the bible very well, I don't know how to help him.
Tell your mom that he should read the Bible or go to church. I think that parables are great role models and they can be confusing but excellent teachings
Hey guys, just a question. I’m not religious but I really like the vibe of churches and singing, so I was just wondering if you think it’s okay/respectful to go to church to just experience the vibe and atmosphere as an atheist?
Churches just kinda make me feel safe tbh even though I’m not religious. Guess because they’re filled with love and nice people (:
Go to church!
I wouldn't advise going to church and demeaning the religion though
@mo-me119 are you sure it’s respectful? I’m kinda worried about offending people if they find out im not religious
No no of course, I love Christianity. I think it’s a wonderful religion. I’m just not a Christian myself
I went to church before I was a believer. It's not disrespectful to go.
Alright thanks. Just wary of offending people
The only way you would offend people is being disrespectful about Christianity. If you go with an open heart and mind, normal people shouldn't be offended
Nah I’d never be disrespectful, especially in their own place of prayer
Christianity is a wonderful religion
A lot of nice people
i was gone for 2 days and the religion chat just blew up
Well we just like religion quite obviously lol
It's never disrespectful, at least to me, to go and experience environments that impress you, even if you don't share every belief.
@roxymax1 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

They should be more then happy to let you in
