Here she writes about how she and her husband went about finding a good church and I thought this was particularly good:
How do we choose our churches? So many of us want programs for the children and worship that melts our hearts. But that is not what transforms us, is it? Programs do not transform. Even worship, although vital, does not transform us. If our hearts are so cold that we need a certain kind of worship to feel grateful for what God has done for us, then we need to be repenting of our hardness of heart. It is the WORD that transforms us. "Be transformed by the renewing of your minds." (Romans 12:2) As we choose our churches, I would submit to you that we need to be choosing them on the basis of theology and the preached Word. Is the theology biblical? Are you being convicted to repent, week in and week out? Is the preacher offering the Gospel for unbelievers, meat for the mature and milk for the babes every single week? This is what we need to be looking for in a church.
Amen.
