ARE YOU NOT ABLE TO FIND A HEALTHY CHURCH? We get calls and emails every week with the same old story: people can't find a healthy Church. Christians should be very thankful if they have one because there are still faithful shepherds but those are getting fewer and farther between. For those who don’t have a healthy Church, I encourage them to get rid of any convenience mentality. We're living in the days of apostasy (and it will get worse), so we need to do two things since God is faithful to get us to a healthy Church, even though today it may not come easy. Still, five-minute drives are over so give that idea up. I used to drive ninety minutes one way and some at Sunrise do that now; so what? Jesus went all the way to Calgary. In my spirit of bluntness these days I challenge folks to realize they obviously know the importance of a healthy Church but still refuse to drive twenty minutes for it. My counsel goes like this: “With all due respect, you are admitting your present services are at an apostate Church, which is part of the problem. Your attendance contributes time, treasure, talents, and another tongue to help that apostate Church continue on. Do they really want to do that?” Remember though, there is no perfect Church, including our Sunrise Bible Church. And if you think there is, don’t go there because you’ll mess it up, just like I would. But if all true born-again Christians, who know they're not at a healthy Church, would make an exodus this week, most of those Churches would go belly up. And then Churches preaching the truth could do so much more with the increased numbers. Unfortunately the spirit of convenience and compromise has also infected even the healthy biblical Church because it's not as easy anymore to find. Just know Christ hasn't left you high and dry. He will give you an opportunity to get to a Church where you can grow in your relationship with Him.
