When we’ve had to relocate for work and have had looked for a new church (Baptist), I gone online and called the pastors. My list of questions is:
What version of the Bible do you use? If not KJV, end the call and move on to the next church on the list.
What hymnal do you use? If they say they don’t use hymnals and/or they put the words of the songs on a screen, end the call and move on to the next church on the list.
When I walk into your church, will I see drums? If “yes”, end the call and move on to the next church on the list.
What contemporary/pop Christian do you have? The correct response would be “none”.
When we moved to Tennessee, we incorrectly assumed it would be easy to find a “good” fundamental Baptist church. We were wrong. Finally, we did find one but it was a chore. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting 5 or 6 churches; they’re everywhere. Sadly, most have gone contemporary, especially with music, and are into the razzle-dazzle.
Oy vey! I remember my mother dragging me out of a Catholic church if she saw a guitar!
What about New King James Version(not kjv 2000)?
