One can size up a church by the sermons. In particular - the length of the sermons and how much time is spent on reading the bible verses and analyzing them compared to time spent on rituals and routines. Also how often is the name Jesus Christ even mentioned? There are still great bible-believing churches. I belong to one. All of this is under the control of the Christian. If you are not being fed then leave and go somewhere else.

As A Pastor, I see many things in my Denomination that has become Socialistic. I pastor a Southern Baptist Church in Missouri. Yes, I preach the Bible and my Church expects that from their Pastor.

Our Denomination has gone all in on “Starting Churches”, all the “Church Planters” dress the same and use very little Scripture and its all about the Praise Worship rather than what the Word of God says.

I guess I am old fashioned but I love the old Hymns and the words are very Praise worthy.
