Agree with the church

i've been in many churches that are teaching things that my husband and i don't believe. when this happens, my husband privately talks to the pastor about it to try and find out if they are purposely trying to deceive people or if it was a mistake. lately, we've found that the pastors are purposely trying to deceive people. for example, the one church we were at, the pastor preached that people pray too much and that we need to QUIT praying. We are strong believers that you are to pray. my husband showed the pastor in the Bible where it says we are to "pray without ceasing". the pastor told him that it doesn't matter what the Bible says. When we come to disagreements with the church like this, we leave that church and look for a new one.

Not all churches are perfect. However, if a church does not believe in a practice that is important to me or is offensive, then I start looking for another one. I don't believe in being a church hopper, but there are exceptions in some cases. However, if you believe that the Lord has placed you there to being a positive impact in the church, then stay there and ask God to help them see the truth, if they are practicing anything that is not biblical.

We don't all belong to one church or another. I don't need church or any god to make me a good person. I don't beleive in any of that stuff at all. Why people base their lives around a book is beyond me but to each their own.
