The Importance Of A Bible Based Church

By Paulette Mason


People need to worship and in so doing they need to find a place where they can worship with other believers and that is why they go to church. There, the worshipers pray and worship together led by pastors who are trained to lead people in understanding the true word of God through the bible. With that in mind one has to find Bible based Church.

A lot of churches are being formed with each claiming that they are best, which has led to their reduced importance to people. While some are formed with the purpose of preaching the word of God others are formed by people who have their own selfish interest. It is a common thing to see a lot of adverts by preachers urging people to go to their church to worship with them which is a good thing but to know whether it is Bible based or not is what is difficult.

Without a congregation, a church is no church but just a building. People have to go to house of Lord for it to be known as one. So it can be said that a house of the Lord is made of people and with the well-known saying that no one is perfect, the same can be said about a holy house. One ought to be careful when choosing a church to attend so as to get the true scripture of God.

When looking for a holy house, there are certain things to look out for. First and foremost find out about the doctrines, what they believe in. With the Internet today, such things are not so hard to find. Praying for Guidance and protection from God is also advisable as leaving your search in the hands of God can make it easier and helps not to fall in bad hands. It is also important to attend the church and see how they conduct their activities.

The other things to look out for are: - how they mentor their youth. How they welcome visitors and also if they have classes for children and groups to teach them how to live according to the word, how the pastor relates with his flock i. E. If he is friendly and reachable as in if one needs to consult, is he always available?

In some churches, the pastors take advantage of fact that they know the bible more than their congregation and they know what verses in the scripture to use to brain wash the members to always be giving money to the church and since their holy union is not scripture based the people never know when they are being cheated or told the truth. The pastors use the holy book to their advantage.

In a scripture based holy house, the pastor cannot lie to the people because everyone carries their scripture to the holy house and whatever the pastor preaches they quote the holy book and give them the verses to read. They refer to the bible in all their teachings so even the children grow up knowing and understanding true words of God.

When a family goes to a church that uses the scripture, they grow together as a happy and God fearing family, bringing up children who are upright and a good help to the society at large. These children can never turn away from the word of God as it is the only way they know how to live.
