Tips for choosing a sound local church

 Tips for choosing a sound local church by Toyosi Adegunle Choosing the right church can be a difficult and draining process in reality. Whether you are new to the faith and looking to settle in a local church or you've been a believer for a while and you're looking to change your church due to several reasons, it is important to consider major factors before choosing a church. Why? Your choice can make or mar your spiritual growth as a believer. The fact that you're ready says something great about you, you understand that the essence of the church is fellowship and you don't plan on neglecting that. Kudos to you! Colossians 3:16 says Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

How many times should I go to church in a week

How many times should I go to church in a week? When it comes to church, the world sees it from a different perspective.

This topic is such an interesting one that was inspired by a group of believers that I fellowshipped with some weeks ago. Especially with COVID, many churches saw a decline in participation of young adults while others saw an increase in participation. Nevertheless, that young adult phase can be a hard one. A phase where you question if God is real and why do you need to have a relationship with Him. Unfortunately, some are led down the path of atheism while others find the person of Christ. Rules, regulations and doctrines can't keep a person in Christ. Only the person of Christ can keep a person. Why are young adults leaving the church? 1.  Doctrinal teachings that don’t apply to their reality : Many of the teachings are unrelatable and inapplicable to the young people in the church today. A lot of things the older generation experienced is extremely different from what is g...
