From Joshua Harris’ book Stop Dating The Church.
Harris gives 10 questions every person should ask when looking for a church to put their roots down at:
- Is this a church where God’s Word is faithfully taught?
- Is this a church where sound doctrine matters?
- Is this a church in which the gospel is cherished and clearly proclaimed?
- Is this a church committed to reaching non-Christians with the gospel?
- Is this a church whose leaders are characterized by humility and integrity?
- Is this a church where people strive to live by God’s Word?
- Is this a church where I can find and cultivate godly relationships?
- Is this a church where members are challenged to serve?
- Is this a church that is willing to kick me out?
- Is this a church I’m willing to join “as is” with enthusiasm and faith in God?
