50. Looking for the Perfect Church?
How to find a pure not perfect church?
Don’t look for a perfect church.
Church is made of imperfect people so a bunch of imperfect people can’t come together to make a perfect church
Look for a pure church:
Teaches all of the Word of God
Supremacy of Christ
God centered not man focused
Recognizes sin and our need for Jesus
Does not merely focus on being a ‘good’ human
Relies on the power of gifts of the Holy Spirit
Builds a foundation of prayer
Does the church have statement of beliefs listed on website?
What do you look for in the statement of beliefs?
Do they teach the Bible? Do they believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation?
One church website says:
It's important to have opinions, yet having to be right about one’s opinions is a form of violence that we inflict on each other. Beliefs, even the beliefs on this page, tend to divide. We respect all beliefs so as to not have them divide.

Savor Moment:
Suzanne’s chicken recipe
Ranch Chicken & Rice
3-4 Chicken Breast
I stick of butter
1 cup chicken broth (more if like “soupier”)
1-2 packs of Ranch season dry packet (1.5/2) if 4 large or more chicken breast)
Cook and shred up when done.
Throw with some rice of your choosing. I like to throw with the quick cook uncle Ben’s jasmine.
Spend some time praying for the church. Pray for our brothers and sisters who are being persecuted for their faith. Pray for God to continue to purify the church and pray for those who have been hurt or misled by someone claiming to be the church
