Jesus saved me.
The thing is preachers are trying hard to domesticate Jesus and His Words...
It's shameful.

Christ is the central theme of the Word; and exegesis is to get the meaning from the text.
However, reading meaning into the text: this is eisegesis, the opposite of exegesis.

Hopefully there is at least one church locally that is in such a case.

I think they are in the US South. The phrase 'Bible belt' comes to mind...

PS: Great avatar photo of you guys.
Sounds like you guys likely read the Bible at home and pray together: essential.
So did you guys commit matrimony recently?
Yeah we got married in March. She and I teach the youth Sunday school together, and there's good theological discussions at home. I have to keep myself from getting overly-passionate though, and speak softer for her to hear me though.

Yep. We live there as well. This is where much false teaching takes place. The belt needs some tightening.

You'll do well. Keep in the Word and keep in prayer. Note also 1 Timothy 4:16 and do it brother.

To me, a local church is a group of folk that are baptised believers, meeting for prayer, fellowship and breaking of bread, who love divine truth (Acts 2.42). It does not have to be a megachurch of hundreds. It may be 5 or 6 ppl in borrowed premises.

That's it right there. With the current events of our PC culture this may become the shape of a true church across the board. Many churches are simply PC outlets. When faced with the true God of Scriptures they hope that the God who is revealed in Scripture is not in heaven when they get there.

Were you guys married at the same church that you go to now? I guess for some this would be an emotional pull.Yeah we got married in March. She and I teach the youth Sunday school together, and there's good theological discussions at home. I have to keep myself from getting overly-passionate though, and speak softer for her to hear me though.
But of course it's Biblical doctrine that really matters.

A guy in court said to the judge: God is my advocate. The judge replied: You need the services of an advocate who is better known in this part of North America.

Lol. That reminds me of this: A young man was attending a church for the first time and everything the preacher said got an 'amen'! from him as he was a newly converted person.
An old man in front of him became agitated with him. He happened to be a deacon and wasn't fond of his 'amen's'!
Soon the deacon turned around and said 'We don't do that around here'! to which the young man replied 'I can't help it, I found Jesus'! (I know, not real good theology).
To that the deacon retorts; 'Well, you didn't find Him here!'

This was in another thread:
A man and his wife arrived at a church, and a guy at the door said: You can't come in here with tattoos.
So the man and his wife went out and waited in their car in the parking lot, until the person arrived, who had invited the man to be the preacher for the day.

Neo-pharisees.
We had (when I was an IFB pastor, long story) a missionary come on a Wednesday night. It was snowy and cold. The women came in wearing pants. He preached and went on his way.
The next preachers fellowship he preached on how women wearing pants is wrong, looking at me over and over, using the church I pastored as an example...a bad example...to the 'amen's!' of many preachers.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am glad to not be a part of that cult...
