To ALL my religious friends, are your religious practices based completely on the accuracy of the Scriptures? (2 Tim 3:16-17, 2 Pet 1:3)
I ask this because I see so many of my "religious" friends that choose to worship with groups based on, "where they feel comfortable, the type of programs a place has, the type of people that are there, and all other kinds of reasons."
Let's Leave Our Opinions Out
Let's worship where we know that truth is taught and that truth is confirmed by the word of God. Let's not worship anyplace where man decides what truth is.
Where I preach, I encourage the brethren to study what I teach in class and from the pulpit. If I have spoken in error, I ask that they show me my error according to the Scriptures. I am by no means perfect and sometimes I misspeak or may have a misunderstanding on a subject. (We can all study more!)
By no means should anyone stand before judgement with a list of excuses for not worshiping God correctly, and on top of that list have the words, "Well my preacher said..." We must remember that no one is going to be taking our place because we followed someone else's error.
We must hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matt 5:6), and we must be students of God's word by being in the word. (2 Tim 2:15)
