If a church only has a few members, you shouldn’t disqualify that church.  If a church is made of mostly members of a race which is different than yours, you shouldn’t disqualify that church.  If you are a single person and all the members of that church are married, you shouldn’t disqualify that church. If the church doesn’t own its meeting location, you shouldn’t disqualify that church. If your children will be the only children there, you shouldn’t disqualify that church.
 
A church should only be disqualified if it doesn’t stand for the truth.   If it is unfriendly and has clicks.   
 I’m speaking of questionable behavior by the members.   All the other kinds of things that we have
​mention today, can be fixed.    
 
And just think for a moment.  Maybe you, by choosing to work with that church, will be the one who helps bring about the needed changes.     Acts 18.9-11.    Acts 9.27-28.

 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the [a]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this [b]perverse generation.”  Acts 2.38-39.
 
 
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Phil 2.12
 
 
Don’t wait on cities and organizations to help you be a person who is successful.
Its your life, step up, take charge and get to it.    Allow the word of God to help you work toward that goal.   Fight for yourself. If you see that the word of the Lord commanded you to do something, do it!    Allow nothing to stand in your way.

​Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;  Psalms 1.5
 
People who are different from others will stand out and have a rough time jelling with those who live differently.  In this case, I’m speaking of a group of God-fearing people living holy lives and others who don’t, trying to co-exist together.
 
Because the righteous speak and do the things of God. It will be hard for a person who is only interested in things of the world, to have much in common.  But that is a good thing, because the premise of one being different from the world is established.  

​No man of God should live as unchurched persons do, cursing, drinking, lewd dancing, lying, etc.  
There should be a difference and when around the righteous, a ungodly person should feel uncomfortable.   
And when around ungodly people, a godly person should feel uncomfortable.

​“And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2.47
 
All the saved people are found inside the church.  No save people can be found outside of the church.   The church of Jesus is like the ark in the days of Noah.  All people who went into the ark were saved from the flood; anyone outside of the ark drowned in the waters of the flood.  

In order to be saved from hell fire, mankind must submit himself to the word of God and become members of the church.  John 10.9 The word church in its original form means “those who have been called from darkness into light.”  Colossian’s 1.13 

​The church is essential; if you want to go to heaven you must be a member of the Lord's church. Eph 5.23

​There are many commercials on tv attempting to convert us to whatever they are broadcasting.  I see a lot of commercials with gay couples.  I believe differently about human relationships because of what the Bible teaches. I believe what the word of God reveals, He approved of male and female relationships. 1 Cor 7.1-2.   Gen 2.18-25.  Matt 19.1-6.  I stand on this truth because it is what the Lord said.
 
There are those who believe that gay marriages are ok, but they don't get that information from the scriptures. They feel that way because of what the world has taught them about this issue.   I do not have to be the enemy of a gay person.

​But I am a person who would challenge the philosophy of the gay marriage advocate, my anchor is based on what the word of the Lord said and anchors are great because they will keep you from drifting.  Since I am convinced of the truth that the Bible has taught, the commercials I see on TV do nothing for me because of my anchor in the word.     If you don’t have the word of God as your anchor you don’t have a good anchor. Matt 24.25.  1 Peter 1.22-25.  Psalms 119.152
