A "Comfortable" Church?Should you look for a church where you can easily "fit in" and where you can be "comfortable?" A Charlotte Observer columnist recently wrote: "'Comfortable in church.' The phrase has always driven me crazy. The idea that we would go to church to get comfortable, to be comfortable, to be with people around whom we are comfortable, is offensive, maddening and just plain loony. 'Comfortable' is what I want when I put my feet up to watch TV. Comfort for the churchgoers I know is about class, education level, country club and race. And yes, too often about politics to boot. We like to worship with people who think like us, look like us, and drive the same kinds of cars we drive." I am sure you are familiar with these attitudes. But is this the approach to true religion that Jesus Christ taught His true followers?Please listen to Christ Himself: "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate ["love less"] his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple…. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple" (Luke 14:26–27, 33).No, Jesus Christ does not intend that we strive for a "comfortable" existence in following Him! This may sound strange to some of you who have only heard about the "peace and prosperity" gospel that so many preach today. But the true Christ of your Bible talked constantly about the need to come out of this world's society, about the need to prepare for persecution and about the need to "give up" one's life in order to truly serve the only One who can actually give us eternal life!The true Church is composed of people who have genuinely surrendered their lives to God through Jesus Christ. They will have proved to themselves the existence of the true God, the Creator of heaven and earth. They will have proved to themselves the literal inspiration of the Holy Bible and will have dedicated themselves to following Jesus Christ's instruction: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God" (Luke 4:4). And they will certainly have proved for themselves that Jesus of Nazareth was God in the flesh: that He died to pay the penalty of sin for all humanity, rose from the dead after three days and three nights in the grave (Matthew 12:40) and now sits at the right hand of God the Father as our active High Priest, living Head and soon-coming King.Such truly converted people will surrender to Christ as "Lord"—the One whom they will obey. Therefore, through Christ living within them through the Holy Spirit (Galatians 2:20), they will strive to live by the teachings of the Bible. These are the people who make up the true Church of God!So if you are willing to "get real," then please be willing to listen to what the Bible actually says. For God does have a true Church here on earth. That Church is genuinely preparing its members for eternal life. That Church is genuinely doing the Work of God today. And that Church has several notable "signs"—key identifiers that are clearly mentioned in the Bible—which will show any sincere, discerning person where God's true Church is if they are willing to listen with an open mind!
