Attend a local church or bible based fellowship

If you are Christian, should you make sure you are attending a local bible based church or fellowship?

The answer would need to come directly from the bible.  Here are some bible verses about "forsake":

Psa_71:9  Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

Psa_89:30  If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

Pro_9:6  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Pro_28:4  They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Isa_41:17  When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

Isa_55:7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Heb_10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

*******

Notice how the elderly should not be forsaken by the Lord.  Notice how some people forsake his law (some church groups ignore God's laws entirely!).  Notice how people should forsake the foolish people to get understanding.  Notice how God himself provides for the poor and needy!  Notice how the wicked should forsake his way.  And lastly, notice that people should NOT forsake the assembling of ourselves together.

Ok.  So there are some things that people SHOULD forsake(wickedness, foolish people, people who ignore God's laws etc).  Some things people of faith should NOT forsake (the law, attending to needy people, assembling of ourselves together etc.).

All in all, as Christian, even if one's spouse is NOT a true or very righteous person, it is essential to abide by the rules of what to "forsake" and what not to "forsake."  Go ahead and look up more verses that apply to "forsake"


Now note, going to church and the church counts the "number" of heads in the congregation, does NOT mean that the church is a godly church.  You will need to KNOW God's laws and KNOW that the people within the church want to study scripture in order to determine if the fellowship is of God or not.

Here is an option and advice for fellowship:

New to Christian Faith

A fellowship group, that is godly, and that is within walking distance, or has a special transportation service is WONDERFUL, as it is difficult to move young children, and other individuals that have difficulty moving from place to place easily.
