Looking for a church
Mary G. Schriver
Freedom Worship Center
I had been looking for a church for about five years. I would attend Sunday services checking a church out. It seemed that all I was finding was religion, religion, religion. I was looking for a church where we all worshiped God. Where all the people brought there Bibles and we would read God's Word - God's way, and get God's truth. A church were I come expecting a move of God through miracles, in words, thoughts, and in my spirit.
One day I finally got serious and got down on my knees and prayed for a church that would be spirit led and spirit filled. That week God put in my path a girl I know and we got talking about how Jesus wants a personal relationship with you and not religion. She invited me to her church the next day. I could not make it, but said I would the following Sunday. I did not realize it at the time, but the following Sunday was Easter.
Oh how I rejoice in the Lord!
