My husband and I have not been in an organized church for the last 15 years. I have often times thought if we should have stayed and fought for the Truths the Lord was showing us...but what little we did share at the different churches we attended was not received well. We have been happy and at peace since we left the “church.” Our faith has deepened as we have taken the responsibility for our own spiritual growth through consistent study and prayer.

There is the admonition “Come out of her my people and touch not the unclean thing.”

At root this is an attitude adjustment. One might or might not have a better choice of congregations at hand. But one can certainly be a better congregant.

That is a good example of following scriptural instruction. However, Hebrews 10:24, 25 tell us we should congregate with fellow believers.
Hebrews 10:24, 25 (NIV) "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

I humbly request that you pray about how to follow this scriptural instruction as well. I am in a good place in this regard, but I am sure praying about a whole lot of other things that I need help with.

Some great teaching can be found on YouTube, some not so great. I like Chuck Missler among many others.
