The difficulty I have is that the churches I’ve been to have not followed the Word. They have become social constructs rather than places of worship. I certainly won’t fund them.
So I sit at home, I pray, I read, and I try to impart what I can to those I know.
This is what Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy is about: apostacy. People with itching ears turning from the TRUTH of the Gospel of Grace to a FORM of RIGHTEOUSNESS, with works and a false gospel being preached and accepted.
Paul instructs Timothy in something very important in this letter: 2 Tim. 2:15. He does not tell Timothy to depend on others for instruction in God’s word. He tells him to STUDY God’s word. For himself. That he will NOT be ASHAMED as a WORKMAN for God if he STUDIES His word, rightly divided. He doesn’t tell him to go to a church building, or adhere to doctrines and traditions of men. That’s where APOSTASY originates; in doctrines and traditions of fallen men.

Not that I like the idea but it has been haunting me........
