Friendly Fire, Church abuse, Church hoping...

When is it OK and BIBLICAL to attend a different church? What is wrong with the churches of today? Why are we so focused on external appearances and not on Christ and his work?Brother Doug, I personally believe in many cases when we say that this church is not good for us its really the faults in ourselve that we are seeing in others. If there are Christians that are revived and full of the Holy Ghost they should share and teach others in the way that is better. Its as David Wilkerson said, instead of saying bad things about the Church and minister, sit there and pray for God's Spirit to fall in power with the right spirit pray this and God will honour it. I have personally been church hooping abit, and I feel I need to get into a community of believers that is more intimate and were I can be accountable to. But that does not mean I will be leaving my main home church entirely, I still feel called of God to pray for them and to share the burden for revival, NOT as someone that is better but as someone just like them that needs revival myself in my life. Once we start to judge others and have 'I'm better than this church attitude' thats the signs of spritual pride having a foothold in our lifes.Galatians 6:1 - Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.Galatians 6:3-4 - If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else,
