update on church search
Posted by: Sarah Trost in Uncategorized, church, doctrine and Biblical truths No Comments »I had mentioned in October of last year that we visited a small FIC church. Well, we ended up joining a large baptist FIC and attended for a good while, helping them to become more family integrated. But we had some problems with things the pastor taught and our primary purpose for going there was for Paul to learn about pastoring a church, which wasn’t really happening. And when the only other married, homeschooling lady there (the church is mostly elderly folks) told me that God told her that I should have a tubal ligation, that pretty much sealed the deal and we left. We are back at that small FIC I mentioned. The people are friendly and generally seem in line with our values. The men in the church are very emotional, which is a refreshing change from some of the staunchness and ungratefulness (to Grace) we have experienced in the free will churches we have been attending. They do believe in election, which I am certain has a great deal to do with the tender and broken attitude, but I think the fact that most of the congregation are new believers has even more to do with it.
We are grateful to be there and although we don’t know how long God may have us there we always bloom where we are planted and I’m seeking as to how God wants me to serve the Church.
