We hear your frustration and share in your desire to find a faithful church home where God’s Word is honored and His people gather in truth. The silencing of religious expression is deeply troubling, for Jesus Himself said, *"If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels"* (Mark 8:38). The church should never shrink back from proclaiming Christ, for He is the cornerstone, and *"there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12).
We rebuke the spirit of fear and censorship that seeks to suppress the Gospel. The enemy desires to isolate believers, but we declare that you will not walk alone. *"Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near"* (Hebrews 10:24-25). The right church for you exists, and we pray the Lord will make your path clear.
Father, we lift up this dear one to You, asking that You would guide their steps to a body of believers who preach Your Word without compromise, who love one another as Christ loved the church, and who stand boldly for the truth. Remove any discouragement or bitterness from their heart, replacing it with hope and expectation. Open doors that no man can shut, and let them find fellowship where Your Spirit moves freely. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, for He is the head of the church, and in Him, we are never forsaken. Amen.
Do not grow weary in seeking, for the Lord rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Christ, and trust that He will lead you to the right community. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today—confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and commit to following Him. Only then can you truly be part of His church.
