How do you choose the right church?
Most use the wrong list of qualifications. Let me give you a few examples.
Do I like the style of the church, the way it looks, the songs they sing, the structure of the service? Doesn't matter.
Do I agree with everything the leaders say? Doesn't matter.
Is it convenient? Does it work with my schedule? Definitely doesn't matter.
There's only one way to find the right church: Ask God.
There's a place where God needs you, where what He's given you perfectly fits with the others in that gathering of believers.
If you use any qualification other than asking God where He wants you, you'll end up in the wrong place. And because you are in the wrong place, it's only a matter of time before you become lukewarm in your misery.
Not only will God lead you to a place that needs your giftings, but He will also lead you to a place that challenges you. It is not going to be sunshine and roses every time you go.
It's both uncomfortable to flesh and fulfilling to the spirit when you are where you are supposed to be.
So, remove every other qualification. Like, all of them. And then ask God where He wants you. And then make a commitment to be there until He leads you somewhere else.
Decide ahead of time that you won't jump ship when it gets hard, or when you disagree with something. Decide now that you will go where God wants you and stay there until He releases you.
