Pray for guidance. Look for likeminded believers. Your church can be a meeting in a house. Follow where He leads. As far as a more formal church setting, take a drive out and about, in the country if it’s nearby. Look for those humble but well-loved, smaller churches that shine, that just say “now that’s a nice little church.” There’s a reason, you’ll find. See who they are and what they profess. Make inquiries, pay a visit one Sunday. It’s make a nice outing for a Godly purpose, even if it’s not ultimately “home.”
I have elderly family members, Primitive Baptists, who make a point of getting out to different churches, to hear and appreciate all the ways one can praise God, the different music, the preaching styles, the emphases on different Biblical passages ... they know which are Bible churches and which are not, they’ve been to most all of them, bearing witness if necessary and enjoying the fine fellowship and unique perspective always. Of course, they’re members of old, small country churches that still have circuit preachers, so they have many Sundays free to do this.
Maybe this will sound a little odd, but a good church has a, what, warm glow about it? I sort of alluded to it above. Good luck, and do remember to pray for guidance, to be led to the right person or people to bring you to your new spiritual fellowship, your church.
I understand what you’re saying. Just as I knew my old church wasn’t the one, I just knew it in my heart.
The great thing about this is it is not just my, but my Aunt. We have been learning over the past years we are SO two peas in a pod!
Only difference is she has the patience of a Saint and I have none! All of my weaknesses, she seems to have double.
Her weaknesses, I have double (she is now the matriarch so I can’t really use them).
But we know. Very weird how life turns out.
