Voddie Baucham discusses the tremendous need for healthy churches

He says there is a lack of good leadership and fidelity to the Word of God in churches all over the country. Not every community has a core of Christians who will fight for truth. We can either search diligently and find a good church, we can plant our own or, worst case scenario, we can move. He says, “We uproot our families for better jobs, better houses, and better neighborhoods. Why not move for a healthy church? Of course, just like jobs, houses and neighborhoods, their is no guarantee that a healthy church will be exactly what you think it is.”
Read the article
(Romans 11:1-6 ESV)
“I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? ‘Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.’ But what is God’s reply to him? ‘I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.’ So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.”
