I have always held thus... yet I find myself without a congregation.

All the ones I know either embrace the functional heresies of Feminism and/or Homoeroticism and/or Liberation Theology, or are so fundamentally at odds with what I believe, that I cannot participate honestly and openly.

I have been in ministry in two denominations in the past. Now I am alone.

You didn't post to me, but upon reading it I thought I might add a comment. You seem to place weight on denomination. By definition, denomination speaks from Traditions of men. The Bible is our touchstone. The "New Age" movement is bringing error into the church and must be avoided, unless you have come to change things and teach them the truth. Get ready for resistance. I was in the same predicament for awhile, but have found a non denominational group now that know their Bible and teach the Truth from Scripture, not other preachers or other books. I actually attended services with teachers using books from men and women authors to teach from. They quoted from men with the same authority of the Bible.

If you are a minister, you have already passed the hard part. If you find it impossible to find a flock to join, start your own. Paul didn't wander all over the ME looking to join a group. He planted churches. I went to a church for years that started decades ago in a tent. After 19 years, they invited a pastor that held to a New Age theology. After much turmoil, the founders of the church with other leadership ended up leaving. A group that started in a man's home is now flourishing and the old church can't pay their bills.

This may not sound like a desirable outcome, but when you surrender to God, He will equip you and go before you to clear the way. There are too many today that just look to be fed instead of doing the feeding. That is why the enemy has his way in flocks today. Don't be alone, but use what God has given you.
