i should cut and paste this, i meant to do this a while ago:

Anyways, when you look for a church, try to find one which emphasizes teaching through the Bible, maybe even pastors who exposit entire passages, rather than topical messages. Lot of sorry churches out there. The only way you're gonna really grow in faith is to incorporate the Word into your life, and at a Bible-based church, you'll have more examples of mature believers who do so. College will be make or break for you spiritually, cuz you'll have to set your priorities. Lot of people are seen to fall away in college, because they set their priorities elsewhere.
...
Yeah, I would rather go to a conservative church, that has a high view of the word, than a church with a cool praise band and no teaching. Michelle and I are going to a small church. Most of the people are pretty old, but I like it because because the teaching is sound. There's a lot of heresy going around, and the only objective truth is found in the Bible. That's why we must base our faith from the Bible, not from our own subjective thought. That is a very common philosophy these days (post-modernism), you see it in politics, morals, etc. "If I'm all right with it, than it's alright." But you think about it, this doesn't make sense because there's no absolute truth. Christians even do this when they say, "I think God is like this... instead of this is what the Bible says about God." In the end, we are only creating an idol of who we think God to be, but is really not God at all.
