Blue, I like to say I was liberated from legalism. The church I was saved in as a teenager was a right-wing fundamentalist, we hate everybody kind of church and unfortunately the Bible college we attended was of the same mindset, it took several years to grow up spiritually when we finally left that side, we looked for solid Bible believing evangelical churches, which, even in the Bible Belt, are hard to find .... the one thing I am very thankful for from that background is the love of prophecy it gave me ... to him who has ears to hear .... can’t wait to move my membership one final time to that celestial city on a hill and join the praise team in worshiping our Heavenly Father :yahoo: :yahoo: :prayer-hands: My husband keeps telling me I will never find a perfect church, so I just need to get happy in it. I have been able to point our false doctrines to some, but I don't think they really understand the freedom in Christ. One thing I couldn't believe at our current church when we first started there is they had a special private homeschool co-op. Not all homeschoolers were welcome, you had to be invited to participate! We haven't attended in a year since the lockdown started and have just been watching the livestreams. What a relief! Can't imagine Christ's heart regarding the matter?! But He did give the seven churches a report card! TR There is just a little bit of legalism sneakily hidden in sermons that if you aren't watching out for it, you can be sucked right in! By the way, I did get an invite to their private school and said, "No Thanks." Sigh, I would love to be in fellowship in a good church! But I have never been able to find one long term! Something hurtful always happened, when I sad stuff about prophecy or other things! So, I listen to sermons on line and fellowship here every day! I pray with friends on the phone! But it seems that a lot of people are really hurting and I hope we are out fo here this year! Blessings ♥️ :rose:
