I just got let go from my job due to a restructuring. I fully committed myself to God only a few months ago. I've been praying for financially freedom to free myself from this job, and it seems half of my prayer came true.
I was frustrated with work, sure. While I do have time thanks to their generous departure agreement, I've been praying to him on what to do next and the first thing I heard back was to attend church.
How do you know what's the right church to attend? Are there any red flags to look out for? Or do you have to just visit each one to find out yourself?
If there is any Man/Woman that is head of the church and uses control methods to instill power over the congregation, this is a HUGE red flag!!
Doctrine written by man (extra-Biblical) to control the flock, is also a big red flag.
I personally look for "Bible alone" based churches that urge individuals to study and dig, using original language (Greek, Hebrew) as a basis to glean true and intended meaning. Very much like we do things here.
Church services to praise God and hear his word. Small group Bible Study to dig into the nitty gritty.
